Logan Paul has made his fair share of enemies since leaping into the squared circle, and that adversary list increased tenfold when he captured gold. Paul won the WWE United States Championship this past November at WWE Crown Jewel, defeating Rey Mysterio. This win represented Paul's first title win since joining WWE in 2022. His part-time schedule took him away from the ring for the remainder of 2023, but by the time he was back on programming in the new year, Kevin Owens had him in his crosshairs. Paul would only escape Owens at WWE Royal Rumble as Owens was disqualified after using brass knuckles.
