It worked - 27-year-old star claims he baited Roman Reigns into a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

Roman Reigns, along with The Bloodline members! Logan Paul believes he baited to give him a match for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The foundations for the pair's match at Crown Jewel were laid last month when The Tribal Chief appeared on Logan's Implausive podcast. Reigns accused Paul of talking trash after he was on the show, which led to the latter showing up on SmackDown where he was confronted by the Bloodline. The match between the two was later made official by Triple H at a press conference for Crown Jewel. Logan Paul recently spoke to Alex McCarthy of Inside the Ropes, where he discussed facing The Head of the Table in the 3rd match of his WWE career: "I'm having a hard time understanding how I got here. I think it falls in line with the way I attack every industry I go into." said Paul. "Like in my head, I'm like, 'Why would I not just go for the top immediately?' I don't have much patience, I was a social media kid, instant gratification is what I'm used to. I could do all the other stuff and go through the ranks and wrestle little by little and make my way up there, but I prefer dropping the explosion as soon as I enter. So yeah, called out Roman Reigns, pretty much baited him into a match. It worked. Here we are, November 5th, taking on Roman Reigns for the title at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. It's insane."
