The Road Dogg has weighed in on the upcoming clash between Roman Reigns and Logan Paul, considering the two to be a perfect pairing at this time.

It was confirmed during a recent press conference that ‘The Head Of The Table’ will put his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on the line at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on 5th November, with Logan Paul as his opponent. This came after taunting from the YouTube star that he could beat Reigns, despite only having two WWE matches under his belt.

In a discussion on his Oh…You Didn’t Know podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Road Dogg has compared Logan Paul’s involvement with when David Arquette won the WCW Championship, and how this is an entirely different scenario.

Well, it depends on how long he wants to go with the business or how far he wants to go in the business. Because look, if they were to put the title on him, and he were to come and do television shows, I think that would be great for the ratings of television shows. And so I think if he were willing to tell some kind of story arc, I think it would be okay.

And I think the reason being, I don’t think it was okay with Arquette, because Arquette was not physically gifted. He is not athletic at all. And so it was all smoke and mirrors and bullcrap where Logan Paul can actually have a physical contest with somebody and make it look like it is a physical contest.

You know what I mean? And so I think there’s two totally different spectrums when you’re talking about those two.

The Road Dogg, currently WWE Vice President Of Live Events, went on to explain the reasons why Roman Reigns vs. Logan Paul can be seen as “the perfect match”.

Yeah, not even not even a comparison. Okay, not even a [comparison]. No offence to Arquette, like he was in way over his head. Logan Paul has proved that he is athletic and has athletic prowess. And I mean, I’ve watched him work in the match, you know, with Miz and against Miz. And like, this guy’s got something and he’s also got 33 million followers or however I may have misstated, but it’s a tonne.

Yeah, so look, I think it’s big business in a positive light this time, I think Arquette was big business in a negative light. And that’s just how I feel about it. And it’s not because I didn’t work for one company that I work for the other. Logan Paul’s an attraction. And that’s exactly what the Saudi dates are for is to have huge attractions. And so this is the perfect match, in my opinion.

It has also been reported that Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and that is another reason the match will take place at Crown Jewel.
