The announcement of Logan Paul vs Roman Reigns match for Crown Jewel has divided fan opinion. A vocal majority is against WWE giving a world title shot to the YouTube star with very limited experience in the ring. Corey Graves, however, supports this decision.
Speaking on After The Bell (H/t Wrestlingnews) Graves admitted that back in the day he would have opposed the match as well. After having spent years in the WWE machine, he has started to understand that there is a business aspect to things:
“I love it because of the business aspect of it. We talk all the time, even the fans say ’˜Oh he’s the best in the business. The business is in a good position right now. It’s looking healthy.’ People forget the business part of the wrestling world.’

Corey Graves then explained that people love great characters. Whether you like him or hate him, Logan Paul is one such character:
‘Yes, we love great matches. Yes, we love great characters. Logan Paul is a great character. He may not have been a WWE creation or a pro wrestling world creation, but Logan Paul is a character. He is polarizing. He makes you feel some type of way whether you love him or you hate him.”
