SmackDown GM Nick Aldis was in the ring to host a contract signing with United States Champion Logan Paul and LA Knight.

When Knight and Paul hit the ring, they had an intense faceoff before Logan asked he would give LA Knight a title fight.

Knight said every time he's face-to-face with Paul he cooks him. Logan told Knight that he needs him and it's not the other way around.

Paul said Knight hasn't had one defining moment in his career. He called Knight a wannabe with The Rock.

Knight questioned whether or not balls run within the Paul family.

This sparked Logan Paul to sign the contract. He drew map on the back of the contract with directions on where LA Knight can stick his hopes and dreams.

Knight and Paul nearly came to blows before Nick Aldis intervened.
