Who could 'The Maverick' be facing on WWE's grandest stage of them all

The stage is set for this week's Elimination Chamber event in Perth, where the road to WrestleMania will become that little bit clearer. 

By the end of the night, we'll know who will be challenging Seth Rollins for his World Heavyweight Championship in Philadelphia, but where does that leave Logan Paul and his United States title? 

The social media star is part of the men's Chamber match on Saturday, where he could earn his shot against Rollins, but it's more likely he'll be defending his title across WrestleMania weekend. 

Here are five possible opponents that 'The Maverick' could face...

Kevin Owens

Logan's current storyline sees him in the midst of a feud with Kevin Owens, and the pair will meet once again on Saturday as part of the Elimination Chamber match. There seems to be unfinished business between the pair after their Royal Rumble clash, where Owens was disqualified after using the brass knucks brought to the ring by Paul, and a natural conclusion seems to fit WrestleMania. Especially as without a rematch for the US Title, it's hard to see another WrestleMania path for Owens. 

LA Knight

The Megastar vs. The Maverick has a nice WrestleMania ring to it, and it's a match that's been rumoured for a while heading into Philadelphia. Knight is deserving of a big WrestleMania match, and being the man to take the title of Paul, winning his first WWE gold in the process, feels like the right spot for him. WWE could get some entertaining promo work from the pair in the build to the match, too. 

Randy Orton 

Another man who will be part of the Elimination Chamber match but is not expected to be victorious - so where does that leave the Viper ahead of WrestleMania? Orton certainly doesn't need the United States title, however, a match with Logan Paul would be high profile enough for one of WWE's biggest names. It would also pit Paul's knockout punch against the RKO, two moves that the match could be built around and make for a fun programme.

Bron Breakker

Freshly signed to SmackDown, big things are planned for the second-generation star and it could start with a big US title match against Paul. It would give Breakker an instant impact on the main roster and some mainstream rub from the social media star, setting up the former NXT Champion nicely for a big run on the blue brand for the rest of 2024.

AJ Styles

There doesn't seem to be an obvious route for Styles into WrestleMania at the mo, but with his new character yet to be fully fleshed out, that could all change. Styles vs Paul doesn't seem like an obvious choice, but it would still feel like a WrestleMania-worthy match down to Styles' status, and the pair would be able to put on an entertaining high-flying match that could be a show-stealer.
