Triple H has teased a Jake Paul appearance at Crown Jewel as his brother Logan faces the biggest match of his early WWE career.
On Saturday, the social media sensation will battle Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship in Saudi Arabia, and now the WWE boss – real name Paul Levesque – has hinted his sibling could be joining him days after beating Anderson Silva.
Speaking during WWE’s third quarter earnings call on Wednesday, Triple H said: ‘This Saturday we will be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel where one of the world’s most famous influencers Logan Paul will face off against the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
‘Undoubtedly Roman will have the entire Bloodline with him which would make one wonder if Logan will have his very famous brother Jake Paul – fresh off his win against Anderson Silva – in his corner to help even the odds.’
Indeed, reports from the likes of PWInsider are suggesting Jake could make an appearance at the show to give Logan some backup, and the controversial YouTuber has recently suggested seeing his sibling in WWE is ‘inevitable’.
Speaking to Fox’s Ryan Satin, he said: ‘Truthfully, I think it’s an inevitable. I mean, I’m biased but I think what we’re doing is incredibly exciting. At least for me personally, it is incredibly exciting.
‘I often try to separate me as the entertainer and me as a consumer. And if I were watching two brothers take over — and I use that word intentionally — take over two highly entertaining sports, boxing and wrestling, in a way that has never been done before, my curiosity would be piqued.’
Meanwhile, Jake is backing Logan to do the unthinkable and become WWE Champion in only his third ever match, having beat The Miz in July at SummerSlam just months after they teamed up in a winning effort over Rey and Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania.
‘My brother is going to become champion. I believe that. This is his time,’ he told Sports Illustrated. ‘It’s crazy, so crazy Logan has this match. I’m so proud of him.’
He added: ‘It’s surreal he has this opportunity, and it’s serendipitous that his event and my event are happening on back-to-back weekends. We’re taking over the world. We’re the next Kardashians.’
Elsewhere on the show, Omos and Braun Strowman will clash in a battle of the giants, Bayley faces Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair in a Last Woman Standing match, and Roman’s cousins The Usos defend their Undisputed Tag Team Titles against Brawling Brutes duo Ridge Holland Butch.
WWE Crown Jewel airs Saturday (November 5) at 4pm on the WWE Network.
