Logan Paul wanted to use brass knuckles to defeat Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble.

In a roundabout way, that is exactly what happened.

Owens took the brass knuckles from Paul, knocked him out, and was about to win the match, until the referee saw the illegal object. Before Paul could celebrate the victory, Owens put him through a table.
