Ronda Rousey: I Would Have Logan Paul Beat Roman Reigns

Ronda Rousey has an idea. 

Logan Paul is set to challenge Roman Reigns to the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel. Paul was best known for being a social media influencer and taking exhibition boxing fights before he entered the WWE world, wrestling his first match at WrestleMania 38. 

Given Paul’s popularity outside of wrestling, Ronda Rousey believes WWE should capitalize and make him happy. 

“I’m going to say this in the best way possible. What they need to do with Logan Paul is make sure he loves this and has an absolutely amazing time and wants to make this his home. Showing up and getting his ass kicked by Bray Wyatt might be what a lot of people want to see but it I don’t think it makes sense. Honestly, you know what, If I was booking it, I would have Logan Paul beat Roman Reigns. I would. For whatever plethora of reasons, he’s one of the biggest draws right now. You want to be able to put him over. You want to legitimize him. Roman Reigns doesn’t have anybody to feud with right now. That would give Roman Reigns something to do and would actually elevate Roman Reigns to be in a back-and-forth with Logan Paul. You know when the Bloodline starts ganging up on him, if he’s having a great enough time, he’s going to call his brother in, even the odds, and you can have both of them. If I was booking it, I would make sure Logan Paul is having such a great time that his brother wants to join him too. You have to put over the new guys. You have to. If I was booking it, Logan Paul looks great, Roman Reigns starts to cheat, the Bloodline gets involved and Jake Paul comes out to even the odds and Logan Paul goes over. It would get people all pissed off, it would get both the Paul brothers involved, it would get them heel. You have to get them heel as quickly as possible because that’s what they are great at. That’s how I would book it. Then I would make them tag champs. I would take all the gold from Bloodline and give it to the Paul brothers, then the Bloodline fights to get it back and build to Mania,” she said on her gaming stream.

Ronda further explained by saying, “My goals would be to make sure the Paul brothers have a great fucking time, you put them over hardcore and make it so they want to make this their home. They’re going to making less money doing this than those boxing fights. The only way you’re going to be doing something making less money with your time is because you love it more. They have to basically court them.”

Rousey noted that WWE courted her and put her over strong during her first run and now she’ll “do whatever.”

Reigns has been the WWE Universal Champion for over two years. He unified the title at WrestleMania 38 when he defeated Brock Lesnar. 

Rousey is the reigning WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.
