Logan Paul‘s undefeated streak will be put to the ultimate test this weekend at WWE Crown Jewel when he goes on against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. In following so, Paul recently admitted that his Universal Championship contender shortcut had earned him enemies in WWE.
The upcoming bout has sparked a great deal of anticipation not only in the wrestling world but also in the entertainment and combat sports industries.
Logan Paul’s performance at SummerSlam stunned the world, and nobody can deny that he surpassed all expectations with his surprise victory over The Miz.
Paul first appeared in WWE during the WWE WrestleMania 37, teaming up with Sami Zayn. Later a year, Paul competed in his first WWE WrestleMania 38 bout, tagging with The Miz in a successful effort against the Mysteries.
The Maverick believes that a number of wrestlers are unhappy with him chasing the world title in only his third match in the promotion. He further warned Reigns by making a bold statement.
“Truthfully, I keep to myself. I imagine there are a few wrestlers who have a problem with me going for the title in my third match, and that’s ridiculous, and I acknowledge that. But I don’t acknowledge The Tribal Chief, and I’m going to f**k him up in Saudi Arabia.” said Logan Paul.

This is not the first time a wrestler has received a WWE World Title shot at WWE Crown Jewel in their third wrestling match ever. UFC fighter Cain Velasquez challenged Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WWE Crown Jewel 2019. While this was Velasquez’s first WWE match, he had previously wrestled for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide.
Logan also has some family momentum going into this fight. This past weekend, his brother, Jake Paul, won a boxing battle against UFC legend Anderson Silva by a unanimous decision.
Paul will fly to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday ahead of his match against Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 5th.
