During this week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown from the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE., WWE U.S. Champion Logan Paul appeared in a video segment.
The segment saw the reigning U.S. title-holder talking into the camera with a black eye after being knocked out by "The Prize Fighter" on last week's show following his aforementioned tourney victory.
Paul informed Owens in the segment that he has been speaking with his lawyers about him hitting him while wearing a cast, which is considered a deadly weapon, and noted that if he shows up at the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 premium live event later this month with the cast on, there will be no title match.
Later in the show, Owens appeared in a video segment responding to Paul, making it clear that he will fight regardless of a cast, so their title tilt is on as planned for the PLE later this month.
Additionally, Owens would go on to invite WWE U.S. Champion Logan Paul to appear as his special guest on "The KO Show" on next week's episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
