Furious Logan Paul threatens to ‘decapitate’ WWE commentator in chaotic title match with Cody Rhodes at King and Queen of the Ring

Furious, Logan Paul threatened to “decapitate” a commentator during his chaotic match for the WWE Undisputed Championship at King and Queen of the Ring.

Distracted during his main event bout against Cody Rhodes in Saudi Arabia, the YouTube sensation let his temper get the better of him, and it cost him a lot of time.

Rather than focusing entirely on Rhodes, the presence of an angry Michael Cole at ringside served as a distraction at several points for the United States Champion.

The two big stars took their time settling into what was a very watchable match, both showing solid technique from the early stages before some of Paul’s high-flying exploits took over.

The Maverick chatted with both Rhodes and commentator Cole before gaining the upper hand with his attack, including a standing moonsault.

The champion momentarily took over – crushing his foe with a bottle of PRIME – before Paul turned the tide once again using brass knuckles, much to Cole’s dismay.

An argument between the two ensued with Paul roaring: “I’m going to decapitate you” at the broadcaster, who had called him a “loser” before the wrestling action finally took over.

Paul then took advantage of a spell on top, even nailing Rhodes with his own Cross Rhodes finishing move, before nailing the champion with a top rope splash through a commentary table.

The American Nightmare – after effectively squandering a countout victory – appeared to have Paul beaten only for the referee to be wiped out.

This appeared to have opened the door for Paul to grab the knuckles again, only to be thwarted by Saudi actor Ibrahim Al Hajjaj, who appeared as a guest announcer.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Rhodes finally pounced with a Triple Cross Rhodes for the win.

After the final bell, few could hide their appreciation for the fallen wrestler’s exploits – even Cole, who had previously hailed Paul as “wise beyond his years”, as if to highlight the rapid progress Paul had made in WWE, with its release in Saudi Arabia. Saudi is only playing its 13th match.

During this period, he challenged for the WWE Men’s Title twice and won one of the other most prestigious titles in the United States Championship.

Rhodes himself accepted his challenger’s credentials the day before they met, telling Paul: “I don’t think of you as a YouTuber, I think you’re a professional wrestler, I think you’re a WWE superstar .”

However, it was the angry exchange between Paul and Cole that amused fans.

An article on X said: “I need Michael Cole vs. Logan Paul at SummerSlam like I need air to breathe.” »

Another added: “For a split second I thought they were teasing Mike Cole vs. Logan Paul lmaooooo. »

A third joked: “Logan Paul vs Michael Cole for the US Championship please”, with a fourth: “Michael Cole vs Logan Paul Wrestlemania 41”.

Elsewhere at King and Queen of the Ring, Gunther and Nia Jax won the men’s and women’s tournaments respectively, while Liv Morgan defeated Becky Lynch to become women’s world champion.
