LA Knight has been carrying a lot of the build towards SummerSlam on his own, but Logan Paul has popped by to do some good work during certain pre-tapes. On Friday, both did well in front of a live crowd. Special mention to GM Aldis for performing his role to perfection as well. It isn't his fault WWE thinks wrestlers having matches to queue outside his door is compelling TV!

Right, enough moaning about that.

Knight goaded Logan into signing the contract by saying his brother would have the balls to do it. That was a killer line, and the same could be said for Paul pointing out that LA has been wrestling hard for approx 20 years without winning as much as he has at a top level. Smug sh*thousery from LP there.

Even a blind man can see that Knight should win the United States Title on the next PLE. That'll be a sweet success for LA personally, and it'll get a monster pop from the crowd in Cleveland. Who knows what's next for Logan after SummerSlam? He'll find some way to get heat and then impress, that's for sure.
