The WWE Crown Jewel event is just around the corner. And this year’s match card looks very exciting for the fans. On the one hand, there’s a battle of the Monsters between Braun Strowman and Omos. While, on the other hand, Raw Women’s champion Bianca Belair is set to defend her championship against veteran Bayley. But no other match has caught the imagination of the fans as the main event match between Roman Reigns and Logan Paul.
The champion definitely holds the advantage with his tremendous experience. But it would be a mistake to underestimate the challenger Logan Paul. It has also been claimed in recent WWE programming that Paul has steel pins inserted in his knuckles. A fact confirmed by Reigns’ associate Paul Heyman.

In the build-up to the match, WWE’s the bump podcast had an interesting chat with popular radio personality Sam Roberts. He was asked about the credentials of both wrestlers.
The remarks that drew fans’ ire
Roberts though gave credit to Logan Paul for his sudden rise to the top but was dismissive of his chances to win the encounter. He also went on to compare Reigns with Basketball legend Michael Jordan.
He said, “No I don’t think there’s a steel pin on the planet that can take down the Tribal Chief, like, the Paul brothers are incredible athletes. Nobody’s saying they are not. Roman Reigns is not a retired MMA fighter, Roman Reigns is not formerly one of the greatest boxers of all time. Roman Reigns is the Michael Jordan of WWE today.
“Look at the list of people that Roman Reigns has put in their place. There is no chance that Logan Paul beats Roman Reigns at Saturday.” Roberts went on to add.

Shots were fired at Reigns.
MJ played full seasons without knowing the outcomes. Roman is a part time wrestler with a script to follow….🙄

LOL 😂, except Jordan’s games weren’t scripted and predetermined by both parties.

A fan went on to compare the credentials in a detailed manner.
Only Fools compare anyone to Michael Jordan. Roman Reigns Championship Run was created by WWE to last this long. AKA Paul Heyman and the Bloodline. Jordan stood out above and beyond all Pure Athletes in the NBA for years. He anchored Great Chicago Bulls Teams

There is no denying the fact that Reigns is a part of the wrestling royalty. But to mention him in the same breath as a legend of another sport, Michael Jordan? It might be a step too far for some fans. And the hilarious fan reactions definitely attest to that fact.
