WWE Crown Jewel, a fun-filled night of wrestling with something for everyone, took place today (Sat., Nov. 5, 2022) at Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. At Crown Jewel on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Logan Paul lost to Roman Reigns by a razor-thin margin after pushing him to the limit in his third professional wrestling battle as he pursued the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship.
The narrative of the brazen steadfast champion who didn’t take the outsider seriously was told painstakingly by Reigns and Paul. When Paul used a clothesline to send Reigns over the top rope, his demeanor altered.
Reigns sent Paul over the barrier outside the ring, but within the ropes, Paul launched his first significant attack with a spectacular Buckshot Lariat for the two-count. Logan attempted a springboard assault in response, but Roman grabbed him with his right hand.
Paul used a Superman Punch of his own to bring Reigns dangerously close to falling, showing a little disdain for the wrestler. When Paul buried Reigns through an announcer’s table with a frog splash from the top turnbuckle while holding a mobile phone in his left hand, he nearly pulled off the historic upset. The Usos came to the champion’s assistance and eliminated the two “Impaulsive” podcast co-hosts of the social media star while Reigns and Paul were both incapacitated in the debris.

Logan’s brother, Jake, made an appearance to help settle the score after defeating UFC superstar Anderson Silva in boxing, knocking out both Bloodline members with a single right hand. This gave Paul the opportunity to land a second frog splash inside the ring for the close call. Solo Sikoa, Reigns’ other cousin, to the ring in an attempt to stop the match, but Logan leapt over the top rope and struck The Bloodline with a crossbody.
Reigns had recovered by the time Paul was back inside the ropes. The Tribal Chief won the bout by pinfall after connecting with his signature Superman Punch and spear, extending his title winning streak to 796 days. The fight became an instant classic.
