The simmering rivalry between Jey Uso and Logan Paul will culminate in a World Heavyweight Championship clash at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24. WWE officially announced the title match following Paul’s consecutive brutal assaults on the champion, including his devastating right-hand punch that has left Uso laying multiple times on Raw.
This high-profile championship opportunity marks Paul’s first shot at the World Heavyweight Title since joining WWE. The social media superstar has strategically targeted Uso since WrestleMania season, positioning himself as a legitimate threat to the champion’s reign. The match will headline NBC’s special WWE presentation from Tampa’s Yuengling Center, where Uso must overcome Paul’s unpredictable offense and penchant for viral moments.
The championship bout adds star power to an already stacked card that includes John Cena’s appearance. For Uso, this first major title defense since dethroning Gunther at WrestleMania 41 represents both a chance to solidify his reign and avenge Paul’s recent attacks. The May 24 special continues WWE’s tradition of delivering major matches on network television specials.
