BREAKING: Colossal WWE Championship Match Reportedly Added To WrestleMania 40
A huge WrestleMania 40 championship match is being reported.
WWE is gearing up for its massive two-night PLE special on April 6th and 7th. WrestleMania 2024 will be held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. There are already a slew of title matches on deck for the show, but many have been wondering what's on tap for one major singles title.
Now, it appears we have the answer.
WrestleVotes is reporting that a triple threat match for the WWE United States Championship is likely for "The Granddaddy of Them All" this year. The report notes it'll likely be titleholder Logan Paul putting his gold at stake against "The Viper" Randy Orton and Kevin Owens.

The matchup would certainly make sense given Paul's antics on WWE TV. The United States Champion has ruffled the feathers of both Orton and Owens. Paul cost Orton the men's Elimination Chamber match last month after he nailed him with a brass knuckle-laced punch, allowing Drew McIntyre to score the pin fall, granting him a World Heavyweight Championship match on WrestleMania Sunday against Seth Rollins.
As for Paul's beef with Owens, Logan pulled a fast one on "The Prizefighter" at the 2024 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Paul successfully defended his gold when Owens was caught with the brass knuckles that "The Maverick" tried using on him in the match. Owens ended up sending Paul through an announce table after the match.
