In his grand “homecoming” event on WWE Friday Night SmackDown held in Cleveland, Ohio, Logan Paul found himself in a surprising turn of events. Wrestling star LA Knight humiliated him, turning him into the laughing stock.
Paul had invited some so-called Cleveland “dignitaries”, the identity of whom SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis, could not confirm. A special banner was supposed to drop from the ceiling, ceremoniously acknowledging Paul as a local inspiration. However, things didn’t go as expected.
The banner was unexpectedly graffitied with a large “YEAH”, leading to LA Knight’s grand entry to stir the waves a bit more.

Knight teased the idea of replacing something for Paul, thus leading him backstage. Amid the ongoing banter with the United States Champion, Knight found Paul’s PRIME Hydration truck. In a classic Grand Theft Auto move, Knight got into the vehicle and drove off, leaving Paul running behind him in vain.
