LA Knight finally had his breakthrough moment in SummerSlam 2024. Following a series of undermining bookings, the megastar clearly tells the world tonight from Cleveland why he has always been over the top among millions of fans. However, did he just get through the win by making a menacing move on his opponent? While netizens pass their verdict on, let’s look within and beyond to know the reality.
The bad blood between LA Knight and Logan Paul has been flowing through the weeks, with both furious rivals tearing each other down on TV and social media walls. The megastar even put the Maverick on notice during the GO-Home show last night. Every brag of Knight started to make sense when the two got under the ring. After Paul brutalized Knight’s car, the ball got rolling. The social media sensation’s ferocity continued with him spitting Prime drink on Knight’s eye. Midway through the match, Knight returned the favor through a nasty top rope that left Paul with swallowed eyes.
Fans wonder if Knight was supposed to do a superplex but accidentally ended up throwing him up from the top rope.

Dave Meltzer also sang on the same note, criticizing the match. However, to see it closely, the movie was completely safe except that Paul messed it up, receiving the black eye for a rookie mistake. He didn’t rotate his body enough and landed on his head.

The show continues to be cranked up going forward.
However, while Logan Paul is the loser of tonight in pen and paper, the 74-year-old WWE veteran gave him his flowers.
Logan Paul headed to the city of Cleveland as a clear villain. During the build-up of the show, the crowd continued booing him up heavily. His fiery promo against LA Knight garnered excessive heat, but that said, not from everyone. WWE veteran Dutch Mantle found him and his promo way too good to not get praised. Before the former US Champion flared it up at SummerSlam, Mantle accredited the social media sensation for rising to a quality rank but at the same time he thinks, he needs to man up his promos a bit as some of them felt cute.
