    “I texted Triple H right away, ‘Do you want to break the internet again?’
    “That’s a dream matchup, dude: at WrestleMania, in LA, on my birthday.
    “Triple H, throw me a bone, give me a birthday present, let me take out John Cena. And that’d be crazy.”

    Reigns is expected to be backed up by his special counsel Paul Heyman, The Usos, and enforcer Solo Sikoa.
    But Logan, 27, could also come in numbers, alongside his brother Jake, 25, now a 6-0 professional boxer.
    Now, though, there is a suggestion Jake could actually get in on the action.
    Triple H tweeted a picture between the Paul brothers and wrote: “If you’re going to step up to The Tribal Chief… you better bring your own bloodline. @LoganPaul @JakePaul #WWECrownJewel”

    Triple H said earlier during WWE’s Q3 earnings call: “This Saturday we will be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel where one of the world’s most famous influencers Logan Paul will face off against The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns.
    “Undoubtedly Roman will have the entire Bloodline with him which would make one wonder if Logan will have his very famous brother Jake Paul – fresh off his win against Anderson Silva – in his corner to help even the odds.”
    Logan was ringside in Arizona to watch Jake score the biggest win of his boxing career by beating UFC legend Silva, 47.
    The unbeaten American later revealed his older sibling urged him to walk away on top.
