In what’s shaping up to be a colossal showdown at the upcoming King & Queen of the Ring in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the stakes are as high as the temperatures. The event will feature a main event that could potentially have fans on the edge of their seats, not just for the action, but for the titles at stake. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is set to clash with WWE United States Champion Logan Paul, and if the wrestling grapevine holds true, both belts could be up for grabs.
Dave Meltzer of “Wrestling Observer Radio” dropped the bombshell, saying, “It’s not official yet, but hints suggest we might see a double title match.” Although the idea of unifying the titles seems off the table, the notion of having both the Undisputed WWE Championship and the United States Championship hanging in the balance in the same match adds an electrifying layer to the event.
This isn’t Logan Paul’s first title dance in Saudi Arabia. The social media influencer turned wrestler faced Roman Reigns at last year’s WWE Crown Jewel in a valiant but unsuccessful bid for the WWE title. Fast forward to this year, and Paul now holds the United States Championship, a title he snatched from Rey Mysterio at the same event where he fell short against Reigns.
Cody Rhodes, on the other hand, has been riding a wave of momentum since defeating Reigns at WrestleMania 40 in April, claiming the Undisputed WWE Championship. His reign so far has been marked by defenses against top-tier opponents like AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura, making his upcoming bout with Paul a highly anticipated one.
If the double title match does become a reality, it would mark an unprecedented scenario for the King & Queen of the Ring event, turning it into a battleground where legacies and titles are both on the line. The potential for a title-for-title contest adds a strategic depth to the match, as both champions will have to balance aggression with defense, knowing that every move could literally make or break their reign.
As fans and pundits alike speculate and the WWE universe buzzes with anticipation, all eyes are now on the official announcement. Will WWE confirm the double title match? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Jeddah is about to host one of the most thrilling and consequential matches in recent WWE history.
