Logan Paul certainly knows how to make an entrance as he rode into the WWE Crown Jewel press conference on an actual camel.
The controversial YouTuber is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the wrestling giant’s stadium show on Saturday night (November 5), and he made an appearance alongside his brother Jake Paul on the eve of Logan’s huge Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns.
The pair will clash in the main event this weekend, and fans got a hint of what’s to come as they joined WWE boss Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque and lead broadcaster Michael Cole for a press conference on Friday.
Paul Heyman had some fun with the crowd before bringing out the Tribal Chief himself, as Roman gave Logan the ‘opportunity’ to thank him – although the social media star claimed to have made the champ ‘relevant in the Middle East’.
‘I’ve been entertaining Saudi Arabia while you were making those terrible YouTube vlogs,’ Roman fired back.
Logan said he was ‘humbled’ to be given the chance to beat the Head of the Table for the world title in just his third ever match, while he noted he just needs ‘that one lucky punch’ to get the win.

‘The Tribal Chief ain’t the only one with a bloodline,’ he added, before revealing he has some backup to deal with Roman’s family members Solo Sikoa and The Usos.
‘Backup is an understatement. I brought with me a man who has the power of God in his right hand. I brought with me a man who represents the power of an entire army,’ he said.
Roman looked suitably stunned, while Heyman – who roasted Jake over his commercial flight to Saudi for the show – shrugged it off as a ‘nice surprise’, but nothing more.
‘The Tribal Chief could smash the two of you right here, right now,’ he claimed, before bringing out brothers Jimmy, Jey and Solo for a ‘photo opportunity’.
Jake and Paul squared up with The Usos on the stage in a possible foreshadowing for a future tag team title match, and things looked to be getting tense.
However, proceedings took a turn with the crowd started repeatedly chanting ‘We want Sami’, who is always absent from the Saudi Arabia shows as he is of Syrian descent.
Roman was unable to ignore the reaction for Sami – who is hugely popular with WWE fans after his recent on-screen antics – and delivered a scathing response to bring the crowd’s attention back to the stars in front of them.
‘After how you guys did tonight, you don’t deserve Sami,’ he insisted.
WWE Crown Jewel airs Saturday, November 5 at 4pm on the WWE Network.
