LA Knight Captures WWE United States Championship at SummerSlam – At WWE SummerSlam 2024, LA Knight triumphed over Logan Paul to capture the WWE United States Championship in a match filled with intense action and dramatic moments. This victory marks Knight’s first championship win on WWE’s main roster, further solidifying his status as one of the company’s rising stars.
The match was set up with an electrifying atmosphere, beginning with Logan Paul’s entrance, where he was accompanied by musician Machine Gun Kelly. In a bold move, LA Knight made a memorable entrance by rolling up in the PRIME truck that he had previously stolen from Paul, smashing its window to add an extra layer of intensity to their rivalry.
Before the bell even rang, Paul attacked Knight during his entrance, igniting a brawl that spilled out around the ringside area. Once they returned to the ring, the battle continued with both men showcasing their athleticism and resilience. Paul impressed the crowd with a springboard moonsault, demonstrating his in-ring prowess despite being relatively new to professional wrestling.
As the match progressed, Paul attempted to finish Knight with his signature knock-out punch, but Knight managed to counter, leading to a series of near-falls and momentum shifts. At one point, Paul connected with the punch, but Knight kicked out, refusing to stay down. Knight then rallied, hitting a superplex that left both competitors momentarily incapacitated.
In the closing moments, the match took a controversial turn when Jeff, a member of Paul’s entourage, attempted to interfere. LA Knight responded by kicking Jeff out of the ring. Machine Gun Kelly then handed Paul his brass knuckles, which Paul used to strike Knight. Despite the illegal blow, Knight showed his grit by recovering and ultimately countering Paul’s offense, hitting his finishing move, the Blunt Force Trauma, to secure the pinfall victory.
With this win, LA Knight claimed the WWE United States Championship, marking a significant milestone in his WWE career. Previously, Knight had captured the Million Dollar Championship during his time in NXT, but this victory on the main roster elevates his status to a new level.
Logan Paul’s reign as United States Champion, which began when he defeated Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel 2023, comes to an end after 272 days. During his reign, Paul defended the title only twice, but his reign was characterized by high-profile matches and his undeniable charisma.
Knight’s win is a major moment for him, and it sets the stage for a new chapter in the United States Championship’s history.
