“Obviously it was a rough day at the office last night, but what you’ve done with your platform for that title has been very impressive. You’ve actually made that thing mean something again,” Undertaker said. “What you did and all the places that you go. When you’re with your brother and you’ve got that belt — man, that’s next level commitment. And that’s made that belt relevant again.”

Paul held the U.S. Championship for 273 days but only made three defenses during his reign. Paul thinks fans from this generation will always associate the title with him.

“I tried to take [the title belt] everywhere, I glued it to my side,” Paul said. “I bet people will see that, in this generation of wrestling fans, people will see it and always be like, ‘That’s Logan Paul’s belt.'”

Are we forgetting Austin Theory's title reign? He only had 10 title defenses over 258 days but he beat guys like Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley, Sheamus, Edge, John Cena and Jey Uso.

Relevant aint the right word but I get the angle he was going for. Onwards and upwards with Knight now though.

If we’re being honest, I would put Logan over Theory in terms of US Champions despite everything you just listed

Only because of star power. But in terms of his actual reign it was pretty weak in comparison.

Yeah. Logan is a bigger star, but Theory 100% had the better reign. The names Deadd listed he beat is also a very good list of names, Hall of Fame level names, some of them headliners. Logan just had it with him everywhere and got it seen, which is good and everything. But I wouldn’t say he made it relevant again.

I wouldn’t say Theory did either by the way.

Yes certainly not to your last point either lol

But yeah, Logan appearing with it everywhere probably did get WWE themselves more exposure but I would wager 90% of people that didn't already know he'd win the US title that saw him with that belt thought he was just "WWE Champion" lol there's no gain for the US title in relevancy here, it was just the one belt they deemed that could give Logan as a prop to generate more buzz for the entire company. They sacrificed the actual relevancy of the title if anything for more mainstream company relevancy

Dunno why I just typed all that for a Taker comment now that we're here tho

During his US Title reign or overall?
Both, didn't he put the US title on his gold digger? And I guess he wants that orange monkey as president too
