      Triple H hints at WWE debut for Jake Paul at Crown Jewel with cryptic tweet as he poses with YouTuber and brother Logan

      TRIPLE H hinted Jake Paul could make his WWE debut as his brother Logan takes on Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. Logan challenges for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship on Saturday in the Middle East.

      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.

      Jake said on The MMA Hour: “My brother says that I should retire and leave the world and leave people with their jaws dropped, but I’m not going to do that.
      “I have exceeded my own expectations but this is just the start, man.
      “I am really starting to get good and there are a lot of people I want to beat and I want to be a world champion.
      “Initially, I was like ‘I’ll go 10-0 and then retire’, but now I’m 6-0 and it’s like I’m just getting warmed up, so who knows what ends up happening?”
      Paul’s trainer BJ Flores revealed they are already discussing opponents for the YouTube star’s next fight.
      Flores said: “We got a couple of names that we’re looking at. And that’s all I can say about it.
      “Jake wants the biggest names, the biggest challenges and he deserves those types of fights.
      “He’s taken care of these guys. He’s paying these guys. Well, he’s given them full training camps.

      “He’s letting these guys really come in the best version of themselves.
      “There’s boxers on there. There’s a couple of MMA fighters too. That would make sense too.”

      ‘I like the idea of f***ing him up’ – Logan Paul in shock U-turn as he calls out Andrew Tate for MMA showdown

      by

      LOGAN PAUL has performed a U-turn and is now keen on an MMA fight with Andrew Tate after admitting he would like to “f**k him up”.Paul previously pulled the plug on a potential clash with Tate after the American-British fighter was banned from social media for his controversial views on women.

      The WWE superstar claimed he didn’t want to give the kickboxer a platform but now seems to have changed his mind.
      The 27-year-old claims he would love to “turn his face inside out” and would even be open to facing Tate inside the Octagon.
      However, a potential fight might take a while as the YouTuber is scheduled to challenge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel this Saturday.
      Paul said during an interview with UFC star Sean O’Malley: “I have said what I said that I didn’t feel like platforming him.

      “But then this motherf****r starts talking a lot of s**t. And maybe I would take the opportunity to platform him for one night and turn his face inside out.
      “Have him wheeled out on a stretcher with his brother holding his hand in an ambulance. The thought of that is compelling and I like the idea of f*****g up Andrew Tate.
      “So maybe I will take it back and I will fight Andrew Tate. I take back what I said and I am man enough to say I made a mistake when I said I wouldn’t platform him I would do it.
      “He has been talking s*** online, he said that he would fight me for free so I got excited.

      “So I text his agent and said, ‘He said he would fight me for free it sounds like a money day for me’. So he rang him up and it turns out he wants two warm-up fights.
      “I was pushing for it this would be fantastic. I thought maybe we could forego those warm-up fights and do it. But then the agent replied and said ‘if you want to fight him Whatsapp him directly’.
      “I have a solution, why don’t we do something that neither of us have done? An MMA fight between me and Tate in the UFC. Me vs Tate in the Octagon. I am giving him options.” More

      Jake Paul ready to challenge Tyson Fury in WWE… but first wants to settle ‘unfinished business’ with his brother Tommy

      by

      JAKE PAUL is ready to challenge Tyson Fury in the WWE… but first wants to settle his “unfinished business” with brother Tommy. Paul’s older sibling Logan recently crossed over to professional wrestling and challenges for the WWE title on November 5.

      Fury, 34, has also had a WWE run and, in September, made a cameo appearance on the Clash at the Castle pay-per-view in Wales.
      Paul, 25, is open to starring alongside the Gypsy King but only after fighting his brother Tommy, 23, in the boxing ring.
      He told Sky Sports: “Maybe a wrestling event, maybe we go WWE.
      “I definitely want to take out his little brother though, Tommy. I think that’s still a big fight and there’s unfinished business.”

      The celebrity rivals have TWICE signed for a grudge match but Fury has withdrawn both times.
      An injured rib last December and US visa issues this August saw the 2019 Love Islander pulled out of the PPV paydays.
      Fury’s hopes of negotiating again were dashed after Paul agreed to face UFC legend Anderson Silva, 47, this weekend in Arizona.
      Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.

      That added to KOs over online rival AnEsonGib, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren.
      Heavyweight Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, initially signed as a substitute for Fury in August but pulled out due to a weight disagreement.
      It has left Paul believing pro boxers are now too afraid to risk their record and reputation against him.
      He said: “They know if they get hit with this right hand then they’re going to be turned into the biggest meme on the internet.
      “So they just don’t want to take that risk when it comes down to it.
      “Losing to me is probably the worst fighter to lose to in the world.”

      In the UK to promote his latest superhero film, Black Adam, Johnson was quizzed on his footballing allegiances.
      And he told talkSPORT: “Do I support a team? Yes. The pride of Cheshire.”
      In response, the interviewer said: “Liverpool?”
      And Johnson replied: “Yes, Liverpool.”

      But fans have been left baffled by Johnson’s response, with Liverpool in fact in Merseyside.
      Macclesfield supporters were also left scratching their heads.
      That’s because, back in 2013, Johnson proudly revealed he was a Macclesfield Town fan.
      He wrote on Twitter: “Damn right! Macclesfield is my team. The pride of Cheshire!”

      Macclesfield Town were wound-up in 2020 after going into liquidation, with phoenix club Macclesfield FC now competing in the Northern Premier League Division One West.
      But supporting a team that plays in the eighth tier appears to be too much for Johnson.
      Instead it looks as though he’s jumped ship to supporting the far more successful Liverpool, who won both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season.
      Klopp has also led the Reds to Champions League and Premier League glory in recent years.

      Adebayo Akinfenwa is set to cross over to professional wrestling next week
      The heavyweight athlete, most famous as one of the largest strikers in the EFL, has now crossed over to the world of wrestling and will appear on British promotion PROGRESS Wrestling on October 23.
      The ex-AFC Wimbledon star will accompany Olympic boxing star Anthony Ogogo for his fight against Malik at PROGRESS Chapter 145 – Wrestling Witch Face – Trick or Treat at Camden’s Electric Ballroom.
      The former centre-forward has always been a fan of the sport and decided to give it a go because he is always open to “new experiences”.
      Akinfenwa told the Mail: “I was always asked when I was coming to retirement what I was looking to do and the response was always new experiences.

      “I was lucky enough to do the thing I love for 22 years but it was a profession. When you retire, it’s just freedom and experiences. It’s always been in the background because of my love for wrestling. I’ve known Anthony Ogogo for a while, years.
      “We came across each other when he was a boxer and stayed in contact and the wrestling thing never went away. He unfortunately couldn’t box anymore and he found that love with wrestling and he hit me up and said: ‘Listen, you want to try a few bits?’
      ‘When you find something that you enjoy it makes it a little bit easier. But then the mindset is to try new things and if it lands, it lands. I enjoy it, I’ve enjoyed the workouts, I enjoy that it’s intense.”
      Akinfenwa trained with WWE superstar Sheamus last month ahead of the wrestling giants’ Clash at the Castle event in Cardiff.

      And the former Wycombe star – famous for his toughness – admits the sport, although choreographed, is very “real” and it “hurts”.
      Akinfenwa added: “I tried it, and I ain’t going to lie, it hurts. Anybody that watched me play football knows that when I went down it took me a while to get up, and it takes me even longer to get up in wrestling when I try to move.
      “The training is training, but there are different body things that hurt. Normally I’m the person that pushes people on the floor, but I’m finding myself going on the floor a lot more now. I enjoy my weights, I still do the bike.
      “I’m working for BT and they cover wrestling. They know I enjoy wrestling and he was coming over. I enjoyed the workout with him, it’s funny because there’s an element of entertainment but when you’re in the gym it’s real work, and that’s what it was.
      “I’ve talked to Anthony, I’ve seen him have surgery. It’s real. Regardless of the entertainment that goes in, you get injured. You will see the statement: “Don’t do this at home”, and you have to practice, you have to work on it, you have to know that you are going to get injured somewhere down the line, that was a conversation we had.
      “That’s the thing people sometimes don’t understand. Broken ribs, broken shoulder, broken eye socket, that’s stuff that happens in the sport. Even me, you have to do your due diligence, it really isn’t like anyone can do it and I am really seeing that.”
