Report: Roman Reigns Vs. Logan Paul Scheduled For WWE Crown Jewel

Roman Reigns' next opponent has been revealed and the current plan is for the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion to face Logan Paul.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, the match will take place at the Crown Jewel pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia on November 5. Reigns vs. Paul will be the headline bout and WWE will make it official at a press conference in Las Vegas on Saturday. 

Logan Paul is scheduled to be on tonight's episode of Friday Night SmackDown and PWInsider have reported that Roman Reigns is now planned for the show, presumably to set up his clash with the YouTube star. 

A match between Reigns and Paul was teased earlier this week after The Tribal Chief appeared on the IMPAULSIVE podcast. Following Reigns' appearance, Paul said he thought he could beat Reigns inside the squared circle. This caused Reigns to order Paul Heyman to educate the YouTuber which resulted in Paul being invited to SmackDown by Chief Content Officer Triple H.

After initial appearances on WWE TV in 2021, Logan Paul made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38, teaming with The Miz to defeat Rey and Dominik Mysterio. Paul turned babyface following the match after The Miz betrayed him and Logan would go on to defeat his former tag team partner at SummerSlam.
