The MMA world and the pro wrestling world had a crossover back at Extreme Rules, when former UFC Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier served as the special guest referee for the Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle Fight Pit main event.
Cormier isn’t the only outside celebrity to appear in WWE recently, as Logan Paul is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel premium live event in Saudi Arabia on November 5.
Cormier recently appeared on the Masked Man Show, where he discussed his appearance at Extreme Rules, as well as why he thinks Logan Paul has found success in such a short period of time in WWE.
He said:
“Logan Paul is amazing. Love him, hate him, he is amazing. These kids are great athletes, but they’re not limited in everything they do because of the financials that they made in the YouTube and everything else that they’ve done. Logan Paul isn’t training by himself getting prepared from these matches. Logan Paul has a ring in his place, he has someone from the WWE in his place everyday preparing himself. He’s not just by himself trying to get ready to wrestle. He’s got the best of the best.”
It was reported that two former WWE Cruiserweight champions, SmackDown star Drew Gulak and WWE producer Shane Helms, are the ones tasked with training Logan for his match with Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel.
WWE announced on last night’s SmackDown that Logan Paul would be making his return to the blue brand on next week’s episode of the show, as his main event clash with Roman Reigns draws closer.
