We’re just a few days out from one of the most unexpected WWE main events of the year. The dominant Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will defend both his championships against internet megastar Logan Paul at WWE Crown Jewel from Saudi Arabia. This is following up two prior matches from Paul in WWE this year, getting wins at WrestleMania & Summerslam – but his goal is simply to earn respect.
Logan Paul Is Battling For Respect
In an interview with Verge Magazine, Logan Paul would speak about his upcoming world title match – and was asked if he intends to prove his doubters wrong come November 5th. Paul would be quoted saying the following in response.
“If the WWE fans don’t already respect me, after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 5th, you will be forced to respect me. You might not like me. I might not be your favorite wrestler, but you will have to respect what I can do in that ring, and that’s my goal. I could give two ***** who likes me or not, but you will always acknowledge that when I get in that ring, you are going to be entertained. That’s my goal,”
This will be a huge test for both Paul & Reigns, but it’s expected that this match will be entertaining – if not potentially great. In the same interview, Paul would speak about how great it feels to be called “WWE Superstar Logan Paul” and had the following to say.
“It’s been an evolution of how people identify me when they see me in the streets, right? At first it was ‘The Vine Guy’, and then it became “I’ve seen your videos Guy”. Then it became ‘The YouTube Guy’. Then it became ‘Yo, Paul Something, right?’ Then Logan Paul ‘WWE Superstar’. After all these years, I feel like that title is the one with the most validity. Not that I need to be validated, but also it’s awesome that I’m validated with a title like that because immediately you get respect and at the end of the day, everyone just wants to be respected. I think it’s really hard to not respect someone who’s willing to get in that ring and sacrifice their body for the entertainment of millions of people. It’s incredible,”
