Roman Reigns' next Undisputed WWE Universal Championship defense will take place against world-famous YouTube star Logan Paul at the Crown Jewel 2022 pay-per-view.
Crown Jewel will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at Mrsool Park on Nov. 5. The Reigns-Paul bout is the lone confirmed match for the pay-per-view thus far, with plenty more to be added following the Extreme Rules 2022 event that will run on Oct. 8 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The early betting odds for Reigns vs. Paul have been revealed, courtesy of BetOnline. Unsurprisingly, The Tribal Chief is the massive betting favorite here at -5000, and Paul comes in as the giant +1000 underdog. Reigns is almost always a big betting favorite for his matches, but these -5000 odds are truly astronomical.
Earlier this summer, the 27-year-old Paul signed a multi-year contract with the WWE. The match with Reigns was made official last week, and the two men engaged in a tense confrontation at the press conference.

Reigns' last WWE match and successful title defense took place against Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle, which took place on Sept. 3 inside Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. The Scottish Warrior was awfully close to beating Reigns, but The Tribal Chief managed to win via pinfall thanks to some help from his cousin, Solo Sikoa.
Roman Reigns Can't Lose To Logan Paul
It's hard to envision any scenario in which Paul defeats Reigns to win the championship. If anything else, Paul's most likely path to victory is a disqualification or count-out ending. But of course, Reigns would retain the championship in either scenario.
The 37-year-old Reigns is the longest-reigning Universal Champion in WWE history, and he hasn't been pinned in more than 1,000 days. His title reign and winning streak won't end any time soon, especially at the hands of a non-full-time WWE superstar.
