Former WWE Superstar Rene Dupree has given his thoughts on the match between Logan Paul and Roman Reigns at WWE Crown Jewel 2022.
Social media megastar Logan Paul challenged Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for his title on Saturday night. Reigns was able to walk out of WWE Crown Jewel with his championship reign intact, but not without a stiff fight from the YouTube star. The match also featured interference from The Bloodline and Logan's brother Jake Paul.
Now, former WWE Tag Team Champion Rene Dupree has discussed the match on a recent edition of his podcast. In a clip uploaded to the Cafe de Rene YouTube channel, the former SmackDown star noted that WWE's brand of wrestling was built around celebrity appearances.
He also called the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship a prop and noted that headlining shows was more significant overall.
"I mean the world title- title's just a prop, it's the fact that they're headlining the show. Look at WrestleMania, was it 11? Bam Bam and L.T. [Lawrence Taylor], that was the main event, that was the attraction. So no, this ain't the first time, y'know?" (0:36 - 0:58)

During his showdown with Reigns, Logan suffered a torn meniscus, ACL, and MCL in his right knee. Despite such horrific injuries, he was still able to tough it out and complete the match.
"Torn meniscus, MCL & potentially ACL happened halfway through the match. keep y’all updated," Paul wrote.
