WWE has announced that Logan Paul will be appearing on tonight’s SmackDown, but there was no mention of Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns in the announcement.
After Reigns left Paul’s podcast earlier this week, Paul issued what WWE is calling an “implied challenge” for a potential match between the two megastars to compete against each other. PWMania.com previously reported that Reigns had appeared on Paul’s podcast earlier this week to discuss a variety of topics. After that, Reigns provided a response on Twitter, in which he urged Paul Heyman to “handle” Paul. In the end, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H stepped in and “handled” the situation by inviting Paul to SmackDown to “discuss” the problems.

Following an update, WWE has now confirmed that Paul will be appearing on tonight’s live SmackDown, which will take place at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The announcement made by WWE regarding Paul’s appearance came after the conversation with Triple H; however, there is no mention of the invitation, nor is there any mention of The Tribal Chief. The comments made by Paul were previously covered by WWE, and the company retweeted the conversation between Triple H and Paul.
