Just hours after his SummerSlam victory, LA Knight is now in a legal battle.
In Cleveland, LA Knight defeated Logan Paul to earn his first main-roster championship in WWE. After a couple of years of hustle, The Megastar won the United States Championship as a sour Paul left the building.
The aftermath saw Logan Paul issue a legal notice against LA Knight within hours of his title loss. The Maverick shared the notice via X (Twitter) and commented:
See you in court.”
On the final SmackDown episode before SummerSlam, fans witnessed Knight steal Paul’s ‘PRIME’ truck and drive off with it. On the following day at ‘The Biggest Party of the Summer’, Knight further rubbed salt on Paul’s wounds as he destroyed the truck with a metal pipe.

The former United States Champion now seeks damage compensation and attorney fees from Knight. Defendant Knight is yet to comment on the issue and provide his statement.
LA Knight Breaks Silence on SummerSlam Championship Victory
Despite interference from rapper MGK, Knight overcame the odds and kept Pau down for the three count. Soon after his victory at the Press Conference, LA Knight opened up on his title victory in the Stamford-based promotion.
Long overdue. I don’t know if anybody could read lips out there, but most of the stuff I was saying, you probably can’t say right now because it was a lot of ‘f*in right,’ and all that kind of stuff.”
Apart from Knight, Gunther, Nia Jax, and Bron Breakker also won new championships at SummerSlam.
