Cody Rhodes will be the only one defending his gold when he faces Logan Paul at WWE King and Queen of the Ring.
Initially, when it was announced that Cody Rhodes would be facing the WWE United States Champion Logan Paul at WWE King and Queen of the Ring, the promotional material was very ambiguous with regards to what title would be on the line.
Until the May 17 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Rhodes thought he would have the opportunity to win the WWE United States Championship and become a grand slam champion in WWE. As it turns out, Logan Paul brought his own contract to the contract signing and declared that he did not want to defend his title.
Cody Rhodes eventually agreed to this but not before telling Logan that much like Mike Tyson is going to knock out Jake Paul in their upcoming boxing match, he plans on taking out Logan.
