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.

The remarks that drew fans’ ire

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.
