Logan Paul’s first pro wrestling match in the Middle Eastern country saw him challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Despite interference from his Impaulsive co-hosts and brother Jake Paul, Logan lost the match after being hit with a Superman Punch, followed by a spear.

Omos, on the other hand, was no stranger to fighting in Saudi Arabia, after appearing at 2021’s Crown Jewel alongside AJ styles in a match for the RAW Tag Team Championship. On Saturday, Omos faced Braun Strowman after Strowman put out a challenge to Omos in the October 19th episode of Smackdown. Omos dominated the whole match against Strowman, but a quick turn of events saw Strowman pull his Signature Powerslam and end it.
