Logan Paul’s title reign has come to an end.
The YouTuber-turned-professional wrestler (and sometimes boxer) did the job at the 2024 edition of WWE’s SummerSlam event in Cleveland on Saturday, losing his United States Championship to WWE Superstar LA Knight in front of 55,000 screaming fans.
Watch how Machine Gun Kelly tried to help Paul and Paul’s reaction below.
The predetermined result saw Knight overcome the odds, as Paul was accompanied to the ring by rapper Machine Gun Kelly. The beloved Cleveland native actually got involved in the contest, cracking Knight with a pair of brass knuckles, but he couldn’t save Paul from succumbing to Knight’s finisher, “BFT” (Blunt Force Trauma).
This is the first title in the WWE for Knight, a charismatic fan favorite who was involved in a feud with then-Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns for much of 2023, though his character was never booked to defeat Reigns.
Paul won the U.S. title after going over Rey Mysterio at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in April 2023. He successfully defended it twice, at this past January’s Royal Rumble and in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 40.
See more highlights from the match below, including Paul taking a scary top-rope bump and showing off his high-flying skills.
