Logan Paul caused a stir at the WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh on Saturday and nearly upset Roman Reigns to win the Universal and WWE Championships.
Paul pulled out all the stops. The YouTube star filmed himself splashing through the announcer’s table at Reigns at one point during the game. He displayed incredible athleticism to take Reigns to the brink, but it was the “tribal chief” who would prevail in the end.

The Usos would try to injure Paul to give Reigns an extra hand. Jake Paul even showed up to try and level the matchup. But Reigns would come back and hit the Superman Punch followed by a vicious spear to end Logan Paul’s quest for a championship and continue his reign.
Paul would later reveal the game’s true damage. He tweeted a picture of himself on a medical table.

“Meniscus tear, MCL and possibly ACL,” he tweeted. “Happens halfway through the game. Stay tuned.”
Paul was in his third career WWE match. He beat The Miz at SummerSlam and later started a challenge against Reigns, who still holds the Universal Championship as of 2020. He won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania in April
