How we Got Here
WWE set up the match when there was an exchange that happened after Reigns appeared on Paul’s Impaulsive podcast and noted on Twitter that Paul was talking trash about him as Paul said Reigns is the person in WWE who he wants to face. Reigns told Paul Heyman to handle it, and then Triple H invited Paul to appear on SmackDown.
WWE later held a press conference in Las Vegas to announce the main event for its November 5 event with this planned match. Paul trained with former WWE Cruiserweight Champions Shane Helms and Drew Gulak to prepare for the bout.
