At WrestleMania XL, United States Champion Logan Paul faces an immense challenge as he defends his title against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a Triple Threat Match.
The Social Media Megastar has been making more enemies than allies since dethroning Rey Mysterio for the U.S. Title last October at WWE Crown Jewel. Paul wronged Owens by cheating his way to a disqualification victory during their match at Royal Rumble earlier this year, and KO has since been unrelenting in his pursuit of Paul.

At WWE Elimination Chamber, Paul made another enemy in Randy Orton. After Orton eliminated Paul with an RKO, The Social Media Megastar feigned an injury to remain inside the chamber before striking The Viper with brass knuckles and allowing Drew McIntyre to pin Orton to clinch a World Heavyweight Title Match at WrestleMania.
After Paul mocked SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis for not announcing a match for Paul at WrestleMania, Aldis announced Paul would defend his title against KO and The Viper.
Paul now must contend with two former U.S. Champions who have championship pedigree and several signature wins at WrestleMania. Both Orton and Owens have won titles and competed in main events at WrestleMania, something Paul has yet to do.
Paul famously broke the internet at last year’s WrestleMania when he faced Seth “Freakin” Rollins, eclipsing records with the views he achieved on social media. The U.S. Champion seems certain to once again break social media, but can he retain his title against two hungry challengers?
