Roman Reigns Vs. Logan Paul Set For WWE Crown Jewel 2022
WWE announces its Crown Jewel main event.
While this past Friday's SmackDown saw the WWE return of Logan Paul, it's now been made official that the YouTube star will challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel in November.
Paul had been speculated to face the Head of the Table at this year's Crown Jewel special, and WWE last night held a press conference to set this match in stone.

This contest will only be Paul's third ever wrestling match, with him making his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 earlier this year. There, he teamed with the Miz to get the better of Rey and Dominik Mysterio. A post-match attack on Logan by the Miz then set up a match between the pair at this year's SummerSlam; a match in which Paul emerged victorious and impressed many with his athleticism.
As of this writing, Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul is the only match confirmed for the 2022 iteration of Crown Jewel. This will be the fourth Crown Jewel event, and the eighth show that WWE has put on in Saudi Arabia as part of their mammoth agreement with the Kingdom.
WWE Crown Jewel takes place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's Mrsool Park on Saturday 5 November.
