WWE delivered some stellar matches at Crown Jewel, but it saved one of the most surprising matches for last, as the match between Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Logan Paul was set for the main event. Reigns and Paul have gone back and forth over the past few weeks at press conferences and over social media, but it was finally time for them to meet one on one in the ring, and it was chaos from beginning to end. Reigns didn’t take Paul seriously at first, and that nearly cost him his Championships, as Logan pulled out everything he had, and even got some help from his friends and his brother Jake Paul. The Bloodline would also help Reigns, and Roman was able to take Logan down in the chaos and retain his Title.
Reigns was smiling as the match started and Paul was locked in, and then they locked up and Reigns pushed Logan back into the corner. Reigns and Paul locked up again and as they came close to the corner Reigns turned Paul around and shoved him into the turnbuckle. Then Reigns and Paul went back and forth with shoves and Paul shoved Reigns further back, which annoyed Reigns. Then the crowd started to chant for Paul and Reigns got even angrier, and that’s when Paul picked up Reigns and slammed him down.
