Logan Paul earns Jey Uso’s spot at the 2026 Elimination Chamber.
On the February 27 episode of WWE SmackDown, things got chaotic before the show began. It was revealed that Jey Uso had been attacked backstage.
WWE officials rushed to help him. Uso was taken away in an ambulance. Later, WWE confirmed he would not be able to compete in the Chamber match, the chance which he earned a few days back on RAW by defeating Bronson Reed and “Original” El Grande Americano.
With his spot suddenly open, an opportunity came up.
Paul Heyman appeared on SmackDown with his Vision members, Logan Paul and Austin Theory. Sensing the opening, Heyman pushed to get Paul into the Chamber match as Uso’s replacement.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis spoke with RAW General Manager Adam Pearce before making a decision. Instead of giving Paul the spot right away, Aldis said he would have to earn it by defeating Jacob Fatu in the main event.

The match was intense even before it started, as Fatu himself had been desperate to get a chance to lay his hands on Drew McIntyre. As the match began, he dominated right from the beginning. Though Paul had some brief moments, those were not enough to stop the Samoan Wolf.
As expected, there was interference. Logan Paul himself distracted the referee, which gave Austin Theory a chance to land some punches on Fatu, who was lying outside the ring. Paul Heyman distracted the referee, which gave The Maverick a chance to land a low blow to Fatu.
Even the masked man interfered in the match and attacked Theory at the ringside. However, this didn’t look like the one who has been attacking and stomping The Vision members for the past few weeks. Paul even removed the mask of the attacker, which left everyone confused, as nobody knew who he was. Later, security took him outside.
In the middle of all this, Fatu almost won the match. But before he could finish it with Mighty Moonsault, Drew McIntyre ran in and hit him with his title.
Logan Paul took advantage of the distraction and won the match.
