Logan Paul: ‘Me vs. Roman Reigns one-on-one, that’s my match’

Logan Paul says he is ready to take on Roman Reigns in a WWE ring. 

Reigns appeared as a guest on Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast this week, and Paul expressed a desire to face Reigns sooner than later. 

“I can feel the dog coming out in me. Like when I watch him on TV and in the ring, I just wanna f—ing wrestle the guy,” said Paul. 

Paul said that when he tackles an industry, he immediately wants to climb to the top, as he says he did in boxing. 

“That’s what I do. I did it with Floyd Mayweather. My second opponent was Floyd f—ing Mayweather,” Paul said of his boxing career. 

Paul proclaimed his success in his time in WWE already, including executing a top rope elbow through a table at SummerSlam in July. 

“Did you see what I did at SummerSlam? When was the last time you saw something like that done? Top rope, onto the table, in my second match ever,” Paul said. 

“It’s what I do. I love competing at the highest level as soon as I get into the thing.”

Paul said that given his success, he thinks he is ready to face Reigns already.

“You put me against Roman Reigns right now, I think I would win. Me vs. Roman Reigns one-on-one, that’s my match,” said Paul. 

Reigns addressed the possibility of facing The Rock at WrestleMania, and covered a wide range of subjects in his IMPAULSIVE appearance. The full episode can be seen below.
