WWE will give its fans an unexpected title match at the Crown Jewel premium live event next month. Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed Universal WWE Championship against the YouTube celebrity, Logan Paul. The match will draw attention from many fans because of Paul’s status as an online celebrity. Fans largely expect Reigns to retain his title and move over. However, current SmackDown Women’s Champion, Ronda Rousey, has different ideas.
The ‘Rowdy One,’ recently talked about the much anticipated title match in Saudi Arabia on her live stream. She believed it was the right match for Roman Reigns. She also mentioned that it would be right if Logan Paul surprisingly went over while adding another twist to the tale.

Ronda Rousey gives her booking idea for Reigns and Logan Paul match
Logan Paul made his debut at WrestleMania 38, in a tag team match with The Miz. Then at SummerSlam, this year he faced off against his former tag team partner, and defeated him at the event. Though he impressed in these two matches, WWE’s decision to reward him with a World title match raised more than a few eyebrows.
Fans are already predicting that this match is more of a spectacle than anything else. They expect it will end with Roman Reigns standing tall. Given how WWE has booked him for the last two years, it is difficult to fathom anything else. But WWE is a place, where anything can go down. And according to the former UFC Champion, Ronda Rousey, she would book the match differently with the YouTuber sensationally going over.

On her YouTube live stream, Rousey brought up the Reigns vs Logan Paul match and shared her thoughts on how she would book the marquee clash. She said she would even have Logan’s brother, boxer Jake Paul, come out to even the odds against The Bloodline. Rousey commented, “Because I was freaking booking it I would it to be like Logan Paul looks great but Roman Reigns starts to cheat and Bloodline gets involved. The other brother Jake Paul comes out to even the odds, Logan Paul goes over.”
She mentioned that this result will garner a reaction from the fans, which would be a major attraction. ‘The Baddest Woman on the Planet’ continued, “That’s how I would book it would get people all p*ssed off.”
Incidentally, Logan Paul’s brother Jake Paul also made the switch from being a YouTube celebrity to a professional boxer. He will also face from UFC legend, Anderson Silva, in a boxing match on October 29, in a Showtime pay-per-view main event.

Rousey’s reasoning behind this sort of booking is that she wants new talent to go over. Recently she herself revealed that she gets to pick her WWE opponents and wants to put over the younger talent. Putting over young talent is understandable, but if Logan Paul picks up an unlikely win over Roman Reigns on November 5, in Saudi Arabia, the wrestling community will be divided. What do you think of Ronda Rousey’s booking idea? Let us know in the comments.
