Logan Paul Reveals How He Trained For His Crown Jewel Match

Surprisingly he was given a WWE Universal Championship opportunity against Roman Reigns at the Crown Jewel pay per view event. This decision of WWE was criticized by the fans thoroughly since Logan was not enough recognised by the WWE fans. This was the first time that even the haters were routing for Roman Reigns.
Logan Paul who recently faced Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship spoke to Ryan Satin on his Out of Character podcast where he talked about his training for the WWE Universal champion ship match that took place at the recent Crown Jewel pay per view event. He said;
“I’m doing a lot of sit-ups. I need my six-pack. No one likes a WWE superstar without a six-pack. I’m getting in the ring a lot. WWE was nice enough to actually build a ring in Puerto Rico, where I live, so I can train. At the end of the day, ring generalship and comfortability in the squared circle is the most important.
“I’m finding, the more I can do my bumps, bounce off the ropes, practice my flips, practice makes perfect and the better I’m getting. I can feel it too, every single day I get in the ring and practice my slams, it’s just a little bit better. The physicality comes easy. Truly, what I need to work on is my mic skills.
“I’m not comfortable on the mic. I’ll be on the mic at a show, Madison Square Garden, 18,000 people watching, all heckling me live and talking their smack while I’m trying to deliver a story. It’s very difficult. Doing WWE promos is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and I have so much respect for the superstars who get in there every Monday and Friday and rattle off this stuff to perfection. I’m just not there yet. The physicality, let’s go.”
