The undisputed WWE Universal championship will be on the line when Roman Reigns takes on Logan Paul at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Logan Paul made his PPV debut for WWE during the WWE WrestleMania 2022 PPV. He teamed up with The Miz to defeat the Mysterios, but was betrayed by his own partner after the match. However, Logan Paul got his revenge when he earned victory over Miz in his 2nd PPV appearance, at the SummerSlam 2022 PPV.

During the press conference, Logan was involved in a war of words with Paul Heyman, as he claimed it would take only one punch from him to dethrone end Reigns’ lengthy championship reigns.

While Reigns accepted the challenge, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H announced that both superstars will lock horns for the undisputed WWE universal championship match at the WWE Crown Jewel 2022 pay-per-view (PPV) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
