[0.0] "Somehow I actually liked this match even less than the one where Ric Flair nearly flatlined. Logan Paul is obviously a fine athlete to a certain extent, but I feel this match was painfully obvious in that it was structured with no other purpose than to make Logan Paul look far more competent than he actually is, just planned and over-planned out to within an inch of it's life. The nightmare vibes of Logan Paul's insufferable aura combined with happening on one of these Saudi shows is just a horrifying vortex that overshadows everything else going on. Insanely long for what basically amounts to a match designed to coddle a celebrity, not to mention extremely overbooked to further hide all the qualities he lacks. This was just extremely not for me."
[8.0] "A match that makes one hate just how impressive Logan Paul can be in-ring if given the right tools to succeed. The spots worked well, and the cameo from Logan's just-as-hateable brother was a solid touch. The match made no sense to work the way it did. [****]"
[5.0] "A pretty fine but basic main event from Roman Reigns and Logan Paul. Logan brought a good fight, I really do appreciate, but it felt mostly what he did is just flips and dives, lack of physicality. But it has ended with all Roman's family interference and then Roman eventually retained, very typcial and predictable. [**3/4]"
[9.0] "How? How did a match that I thought would suck and be the worst match of 2022, become one of my favorite matches of 2022? I still can't believe how great of a match this was. We all knew Logan wasn't winning cause that'd be stupid to put the belt on him."
[6.0] "I don't care how many millions of followers Logan Paul has on social media. I'm not interested. I don't like seeing a guy from "outside" come to fight in the main event against the champion. Even if the champion is Reigns and his belts have taken root. Anything other than a squash would upset me. Sorry. Logan did a decent performance. (Better than many guests). But he's a guest and putting him on the level of the champion makes the whole roster look bad. Why does a guy from outside seem to be able to beat Reigns and all the professional wrestlers who have been here for YEARS look light years away from being able to beat Reigns? That's the point for me. I know this is "good for business." A celebrity. His followers. Money. Arabia. More money... But I must be a nostalgic guy."
[10.0] "This was one of those matches that really shouldn't have worked, but somehow, someway, it did. Logan Paul was still improving as a singles wrestler, but here he gave his best wrestling performance to date against Roman Reigns in this really fantastic and insanely entertaining match and this cemented him as an annoyingly fantastic wrestler."
[7.0] "This was a really fun encounter, however I just think it makes absolutely no sense how Roman Reigns almost loses to Logan Paul when Roman has had 1000+ more matches then Paul, which really takes me out of the match at times."
[6.0] "A fine match, almost good. The result was a dead give away and took alot from the action, which was good however. It is crazy how good Logan is and how big of a heel star he could be. Roman was good and played his role and tribal chief great. A match that is worth watching"
[8.0] "This match had no right to be this good, but it is what it is. Main reason why this match worked, is because Logan Paul is a great "Spot-Monkey" (in a positive meaning), and Roman is already good enough to control timing in a match, so Logan doesn't pull all the triggers in first 7 minutes of the match. Only problem was, that there was no chance of Logan beating Roman for the title, so at the end of the day, we could only expect a good match, and no shocking result - but overall very fun and memorable match Paul is crazy good for how little experience he has (he had even less in this match)."
[6.0] "This match was all about making the crowd to go nuts for Paul's big near-falls, but ultimately the crowd pops for both kick-outs were underwhelming. Reigns' selling was pretty good here, I think he understood he needed to try a little extra hard to plant seeds of doubt in the outcome, but the crowd just wanted to see a 'spectacle' more than anything else. Jake Paul's run-in was hilarious and him taking out both Usos with awful looking punches was even funnier. The post-match was total clown fiesta, I couldn't believe how much they committed to the irony - I bumped my rating from 5 to 6 just because of how much they made me laugh."
[7.0] "Probably Logan's best match from the wrestling standpoint, (although I enjoy his WM match with Seth a bit more) and a breakout performance from the Paul brother. I don't really find Roman's tribal chief era that great in terms of match quality, but this is what every match of this type should be. The obvious problem is that the near falls don't work because there was no world where Logan was winning, but I think they did the best the could under that circumstance. 3.75 Stars."
[9.0] "Logan is the real deal. I was sceptical about putting a rookie against the WWE champion. But it worked out perfectly. Logan will very likely have this belt in the future."
[9.0] "One of the biggest surprises of 2022, let alone this PPV, was just how good Logan Paul is. When this match was announced, I truly thought this was going to be an incredibly weak celebrity involvement match to keep the wheels turning until Mania, and let me tell you, I have never been so happy to have been so wrong. Logan proved that he was in the business for keeps, not just for attention, and if this was a baptism of fire, he came out smelling like roses (are my metaphors getting confused here? ). Some of the best wrestling matches are those in which you are able to suspend your disbelief, and whilst just looking at the card you'd think "oh, of course Logan's not going over", in actual fact, he convinced you that he really could."
[4.0] "Amazed that the score for this one is so high, even if I wanted to be really kind, I can't think of anything in this match that particularly stood out. I found this overbooked, way too long and just not particularly compelling, I don't really care about Logan Paul, the whole celebrities stuff in WWE is often a bit rubbish. And I feel like it's kind of just more of the same from a lot of these Roman Reigns matches at the moment, so many interruptions and interferences just kind of kills it for me."
[8.0] "An astonishing but successful booking. Paul is really convincing in the ring. The overbooking of the last 10 minutes is well done. I have no complaints about this match. (4*1/4)"
[8.0] "I watched with a great deal of caution, because that kind of bout isn't my cup of tea at all. Nevertheless, Reigns made look like Paul like a million bucks. And it blows my mind that this shithead of Logan Paul is so good in the wrestling ring. His athleticism was surely the highlight of this fight, and Reigns had just to sell it properly. He played his part pretty well. His dominant heel persona was really effective. Reigns is like a modern day Triple H : not the flashiest worker, but the man had the sense of timing, selling, and movement. Roman underestimated Paul, and that was the right story to tell. For sure, the good old WWE overbooking was another highlight of their encounter. I'm not the biggest fan of it, as if I wasn't used to it... Just, interventions with entrance music were pretty lame. I was really curious about this one, and it exceeded a good bunch of my expectations. Paul suits so well, that's crazy. And he did some crazy spots and took nasty bumps. Pity that he injured himself, but he gave everything he had and showed all his guts. He's so natural for that shit, at least in the entertainment aspect of wrestling."
[7.0] "This was good but a little bit overrated in my opinion. The first few minutes was just Roman toying with Logan, then for some reason Logan was able to do any move to Roman and took control, which looked cool but made no sense, this is a Wrestlemania main eventer almost losing to Logan Paul in his third match."
[5.0] "It's a fun enough spectacle to watch, but i really did not think it was that good. Logan is quite good given his lack of experience, but why is he in a title match as a complete rookie? It is never a question that Reigns is going to win. But because Logan is so limited (as you would expect given his lack of in-ring action), Roman has to spend forever selling a simple gut-wrench suplex. It's ridiculous."
[8.0] "If Logan's first few matches showed his potential and his match against The Miz showed his progress, than this match made him a star. Paul as a babyface shouldn't work, but it somehow did in this enviroment. He's so fluent with his moves and his incredible athleticism is just outstanding. The freeze frame of him jumping towards Roman's Superman Punch looks great and even though I could do without his brother's interference the crowd didn't mind seeing Jake."
[10.0] "Genuinely one of Roman's best singles matches ever, and with a guy who's not even a wrestler, lol. There was constant action, and no 'you think you're special you do' NXT DIY melodrama or constant high spot bungus, it was just these guys laying it out there and rassling. Logan played the underdog role so perfectly here it makes my teeth hurt. It's like watching the best Benoit match out there. *5*"
[8.0] "When it comes to the In-ring aspect, I don't think it's the best match of the night, but the big fight feel was palpable from beginning to end. Logan's performance was incredible, Roman's performance was unbelievable, they had a match with simple sequences that Logan could follow easily, one of the reasons the match feels so slow at moments. The interferences from The Bloodline and Jake Paul doesn't affect the quality of the match, but Solo Sikoa was there just to pose with The Bloodline at the end. The fact that they had to make Roman vulnerable against an outsider with 2 matches of experience is something that drops my rating, but in general they had a decent Main Event. And God, that ending with Roman unleashing his inner fury after he beats Paul was amazing. No doubt The Bloodline storyline is the best of the last 10 years in WWE. (****)"
[0.0] "Logan Paul is so naturally talented at this it boggles my brain. However, it annoyed me to no end at the same time, like the whole aura of this was insufferable just awful vibes that I never wanna surround myself with. It's Everyday Bro used as entrance music for Jake Paul is insane"
[5.0] "Logan Paul may have fooled everyone else, but he can't fool me. Pair this up with another formulaic Roman match and you get yet another overhyped bit of business."
[9.0] "While I personally don't care for Logan Paul, I have to admit that he had a great performance against Reigns here. I knew they wouldn't let him win this, but man did he do great. Paul continues to prove doubters such as myself wrong, and while I still don't personally care for him, I'm looking forward to him facing Rollins at WM39. As for Reigns, he was fantastic as usual. I can't really put this last part against the match itself, since it's a personal thing, but I just despise Jake Paul. Despite that, I completely understand having him here to try and combat the rest of The Bloodline. Overall, this was a great match in which Paul really proved himself to anyone still doubting his commitment and abilities in the ring."
[9.0] "I really don't understand the fans who still refuse to accept the Logan Paul. He tries very hard in his matches, and that's a fact. Yes, he did not do the most socially approved things in the past, but he did come out and apologize. In his Pro Wrestling career [until Elimination Chamber 2023] he didn't give the fans a reason to hate, but still, a lot of people bukp him... I loved that at the show in Saudi Arabia, Logan finally got the warm welcome he deserves . As for his matches, every time they are better and better. In this match, Logan Paul really looked like a mainiventer, the only thing he lacks at this stage is a good story. If desired, he could be something more than a part timer. Well, I can give ****1/2 to this duel without any conscience, it was fresh and it was very interesting to watch it."
[6.0] "Overrated match. Logan is a better fit for AEW or CZW. He does "moves" well but everything other than moves he does poorly. His acting, presentation, selling, character and body language are all subpar and I don't believe you can be a good wrestler with just moves which is why I compare him to an AEW or CZW wrestler."
[4.0] "Not even close to as good as the propaganda machine has been selling people. He had no business being in this match. Matches have to be realistic. Its duplicating a fight. Youtube kid vs Roman Reigns is an insult. Reigns made it a match while dipshit did his big spots he practiced."
[9.0] "Surprisingly good match. Logan is one of the better workers in WWE right now, which says a lot. He has natural athleticism and clearly a lot of love for the business. He went out there and bumped like mad. His buckshot lariat was the best I've ever seen too, and I'm not trying to insult Page, but give credit where it is due. I have my doubts that Logan can pull it off so smoothly if it becomes a signature spot for him though. The match loses two points for the run-ins occurring before the match finish. Roman needs to win clean especially against Logan. Otherwise this is a good match that deserves a look."
[8.0] "i was very impressed. for a Saudi show, this was perfect. the match exceeded my expectations. it was overbooked as hell near the end. Logan didn't miss a beat tho. he took some bumps and did a few crazy spots. it sucks that he got injured but he showed out."
[9.0] "This match was very exciting and flew by quickly, I think that the match was of course overbooked, but Logan gave it his all and pulled it off too, it was definitely a spectacle and memorable matchup, therefore I give it a 9/10."
[7.0] "I guess Logan Paul is now proof that a genuine desire to be in the business and good athleticism combined with good training can get somebody ready to work a main event within 1 year. He did the basic stuff you'd learn in wrestling school throughout the match, did some famous finishers he liked, and threw a few solid punches. I can't even say he had a lot of charisma or good selling or anything, he just impressed with his longevity and his athleticism in this spot as a celebrity. As simple as you can get from Roman's formula, but hey, it told its story (Roman underestimates this Youtuber and has to take him seriously after he's already lost the upper hand) and it was very effective as a result. Helps that this crowd was HOT for everything, even the drawn-out interference to excuse a Jake Paul cameo (the idea that they protected Solo from having to sell for him was hilarious). This got overrated I think due to everybody underestimating Logan as much as Roman was booked to, but props to him for putting in 110% and working through a leg injury for half the match. ***1/2"
[9.0] "Might be the best match Saudi Arabia has ever seen. I did not believe Paul could wrestle as well as he did in that match. Bloodline spots with Jake Paul worked great. Logan showed amazing heart by continuing despite the knee injury and for the most part you could not tell he was injured. Match told the proper story and the crowd enjoyed it even going from fully behind Reigns to fully behind Paul. Very ucey match."
[8.0] "great match, overbooked as hell and I do wish that Jake & Solo actually did something together, but overall a great performance by both men, easily my favourite Roman title defense of the past year."
[8.0] "How to make a top-level match in one with minimal experience, well, just fantastic. Single performance by Logan Paul and give him the titles already, he is the best wrestler in WWE without question. The dude gave out a phenomenal spectacle and was remembered more vividly than anyone else on the whole show. As a result, he lost count from three receptions. Roman Reigns booking happened again, where he wins very simply and spoils the whole impression. Roman is good when he gets beaten up, not the other way around. As a result, there were a lot of emotions and I was delighted, but if you think about it, they showed us the same thing again and didn't even bother to fix the situation with all these interventions."
[7.0] "Far better than it had any right to be. Logan Paul was seemingly born for this, and Roman Reigns helped to carry him to a classic, one of the best celebrity appearances in the ring ever. Jake Paul's involvement drags the match down a good bit though."
[9.0] "great match. I did not expect to see such a good match between Logan and Roman. Logan is in great shape and I would even say that he performed better than many wrestlers. The man has been wrestling for less than a year! How are you Dominic? I thought the match would end with Usos' usual interference. But Jake Paul and Solo came out. I was pleasantly surprised. 4.75 star"
[9.0] "Shockingly good. I am very entertained by the layout of this match. I think it was perfectly booked for Logan Paul, who showed an impressive performance here. He was really athletic and did moves smoothly. He got a lot of time and space to shine and Reigns was a great partner for him. About Roman, he did his usual stuff and they all looked good. The overbooking was a classic WWE tactic but it worked well here. Definitely a thumb up."
"Strong showing for Logan Paul. He made you believe there was a small chance that he could win. Roman is great as usual. Great setup to introduce Jake Paul as well. The GOAT keeps putting on main event quality matches. When Roman's music hit the atmosphere changes, big time all the way."
[9.0] "Despite being thrust into the main event of a stadium show in only his third match, Logan proved his ability to deliver in both the physical and storytelling capacities as a wrestler. The table spot was executed to perfection, and in the ring he pulled out some surprising maneuvers with the technical skill of those much more seasoned. Roman continues his streak of great championship bouts while making his opponent seem just threatening enough that his downfall could be a possibility. The Bloodline's as well as Jake's interference in the last few minutes worked quite well for this match, even if the formula may be familiar. Truly exceeded expectations."
[9.0] "MOTN It was quite the spectacle, and the Roman and Logan played their character arch perfectly. Logan Paul dazzled with true ELITE in-ring talent, you can tell Shawn Michaels has worked hard with him and that Logan has incredible athleticism that's legitimately eye-popping. Certainly the match of the card but this went from a match some fans mocked when booked, to a legitimate banger that has loads of replay value. Great match."
[9.0] "The layering of this match was done really well similar to Roman's matches as of late. Locking up & center in the ring to start, finding the rhythm with great elements of improving the story arc in a methodical pacing and executing high range moves when needed. Logan's arc was built up to a solid entertaining story of unexpectedly landing the "one lucky shot" and stealing the win. The layering of Logan's offense was done in an exceptional pattern of showcasing the best moves he learnt through his training like the buckshot lariat. Roman underestimating Logan as a threat, finding the capability of him & replying in his style of dominance - all these aspects of the story are done with grace & groove. Once the frog splash through the commentary desk was landed, the overwhelming interferences spilled all over creating a chaotic scene similar to SummerSlam's main event. After neutralizing the shenanigans, Roman capitalized and prevailed as the reigning champion. This performance by Logan will be talked for years and after Pat McAfee's showing against Adam Cole at NXT TakeOver: XXX, this is the best celebrity showcase done on a PPV. Huge props to those who worked on the match in & out of the ring as well as behind the curtains. 4.25 out of 5 stars!"
[5.0] "The first half of the match was a fun match that made Logan look like a star, but he should not have gotten as close as he did. The one lucky punch story got thrown out the window when Roman kicked out of it, and the last half was extremely overbooked, especially with Jake Paul being able to lay out both Usos handily."
[6.0] "This was way better a wrestling match than I expected but then they had to water it down so much by the ridiculous amount and execution of the runins. 6/10 breads"
[6.0] "This was fine. Roman's heel antics and mannerisms aren't particularly interesting. The stalling and elongated holds come across as meandering. He gets upstaged by Paul's athleticism here and just isn't impressive. It falls apart in the last five minutes with the Bloodline fighting with Paul's entourage. Better than it had any right to be with Paul being in his third match ever."
[6.0] "Impressive. Logan is an unbelievable athlete, take bumps and performed some crazy moves. Yeah, he ended up injured at the end but what an incredible effort Unfortunately, that's not enough to say he his good"
[9.0] "This was one hell of a spectacle. Obviously Logan Paul was able to perform all of his moves smoothly because he's athletically gifted, but he actually did the little things in this well like getting the crowd into this match with his movements, his facial expressions were also strong. Roman did a great job in the leading match, setting up all of Logan's big explosive offense and his selling was really strong especially when Logan hit that one lucky punch and he started selling his jaw. The overbooking after that table spot was fun even if it was only meant to pad match time.****1/2"
