During a Las Vegas press conference, last weekend WWE Chief Content officer Triple H made Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul official in a title match for the Crown Jewel pay-per-view. This event takes place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on November 5 that airs live on Peacock for the United States and the WWE Network everywhere else.
The match was set up on last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown where Logan Paul called out Reigns and asked him to come face-to-face at a press conference in Las Vegas. Reigns previously appeared on Paul’s podcast, Impaulsive, and after the show concluded the popular YouTuber revealed that he would love to defeat the top champion for his title.
After the title match was made official, Reigns and Paul almost got physical during the press conference but WWE’s Chief Content Officer Triple H separated the two of them. A week removed from the confrontation, WWE’s Tribal Chief will return to WWE Smackdown to comment on his next title defense. This will be his first appearance on TV since successfully defending against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle.

In a major attraction for this week’s WWE Smackdown, Braun Strowman will compete in a match inside the squared circle after a gap of 16 months. It’s been confirmed that Strowman will face Otis in his first match since his return. The Monster Among Men has had physical altercations with Otis and Chad Gable of Alpha Academy to set up a feud.
Last week, Strowman had initially taken out Ma.çé and Mån.sôör as the two members of the Maximum Male Models were displaying their “Back to School” collection. After Strowman was done taking out the MMM members, Gable and Otis entered the ring and delivered a sneak attack before escaping. Now Strowman is all set to seek revenge on the hell duo as he returns to action.
