Logan Paul learned of plans for him to face Roman Reigns months in advance, according to a video from the YouTuber-turned-WWE Superstar.
At WWE Crown Jewel, Paul challenged for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship but in a losing effort.
In the latest video on his YouTube channel, Paul shared the moment that Triple H called him to offer him the match.
Paul suffered a torn MCL during his match with Reigns, which will keep him out of action for at least six weeks.
The 27-year-old star has expressed interest in facing John Cena at WrestleMania 39, though no plans have been confirmed yet.
