<p>On March 8, Friday Night SmackDown debuted a new segment featuring Logan Paul, who stirred some controversy with his deft brass knuckle assault on Randy Orton at the just-completed Elimination Chamber. Despite having no bout booked, Paul, the current US champion, showed up on the weekly broadcast wearing his championship. However, Orton was a member of the SmackDown roster since he was scheduled to face Kevin Owens in a tag match.</p>

<p>Prior to the team facing Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, Randy Orton unexpectedly entered the ring and viciously submitted KSI, who was there to declare a new partnership between WWE and his firm, Prime Energy Drink. For the same reason, KSI’s business colleague Logan Paul went to the SmackDown event at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.</p>
<p>This is a huge accomplishment for Prime, which will become the first-ever center ring sponsor of all WWE premium live events starting with the next WrestleMania. As KSI and Logan Paul were speaking to the audience, Randy Orton’s entrance music began to play inside the arena. While everyone’s attention was focused on the ramp, the viper entered the ring covertly. On Paul, he tried an RKO.</p>
<p>The influencer, who later transitioned to a wrestler, avoided the blow, leaving KSI alone. In a desperate attempt to get retribution after losing in the elimination chamber, Randy Orton appeared. Logan Paul was by the ringside as he delivered the RKO on KSI.</p>
<p>Orton continued by emptying the contents of the Prime Energy drink bottle. KSI was clearly affected by the hit from the current World Heavyweight Champion, as he was subsequently seen wearing a neck brace.</p>
<p>In a funny post on X (previously Twitter), KSI made reference to the RKO and asked, “Why am I always just getting beat up on WWE?”</p>
<p>Logan Paul is excited to face Randy Orton on April 6 and 7 at WrestleMania 40. At the biggest WWE event, Kevin Owens will be there to support his tag team teammate, Paul, while KSI is anticipated to help Paul after being thoroughly beat down by Orton.</p>
