On November 5, the internet celebrity and now American amateur boxer, Logan Paul, stood out in his presentation at the Crown Jewel, the WWE championship played since 2018 in Saudi Arabia.
Although the ‘youtuber’ did not take the title on that occasion, as he was defeated by the other protagonist of this story, the champion for more than two years Roman Reingns, Paul gave a battle worthy of a professional considering that he is so only his third fight in this category, which came as a surprise to the audience who took it for granted that the ‘youtuber’ would be easily defeated.

“I challenge Roman Reings, and if you are man enough, you will come face to face with me.
The idea for the fight came after Reings visited Logan Paul’s ‘Impaulsive’ podcast. “After he left the podcast, I said if he wrestled the man, it would be my match,” he assured fans of him at a WWE event in September. The American also added at that time that not even Floyd Mayweather was able to knock him down and said: “I challenge Roman Reings, and if you are man enough, you will show yourself face to face with me.”
After Paul’s provocation, Triple H, professional wrestler and WWE businessman, confirmed that the battle would take place at the Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, “this is the biggest show that will take place in November. It will be a meeting like no other”, assured the businessman.

“I have an idea, but I didn’t want to throw it at you until I had it signed. You, against Roman Reings” were the words that Triple H said privately to Paul on the call, followed by the exclamation of emotion and surprise from the ‘youtuber’, who is increasingly venturing into the world of professional wrestling and boxing .
