Logan Paul has made it no secret—he wants to face John Cena in the ring before Cena’s rumored retirement in 2025. But while the YouTube star-turned-WWE Superstar has his eyes set on a WrestleMania showdown, not everyone in WWE creative seems to be on board with the idea.
According to WrestleVotes, discussions about pitting Logan Paul against John Cena at WrestleMania 41 have been ongoing, but the pitch has been met with mixed reactions. The reported concern? Some believe Paul shouldn’t be Cena’s final opponent at WWE’s biggest event of the year.
“Sources indicate recent rumors of Logan Paul vs. John Cena at WrestleMania have, at the very least, been discussed. However, the idea has been met with resounding disapproval from several within creative. The general feeling is that this shouldn’t be Cena’s final WrestleMania match.”
Cena, who has hinted at hanging up his boots after a long and iconic career, spoke earlier this year about WWE’s evolution and its ability to attract big names like Logan Paul. On Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, Cena had nothing but praise for Logan’s dedication to the craft.
“You’re not here to just do the thing once,” Cena told Paul. “You went from special guest to full-time superstar in five minutes, and that’s very refreshing. I think it speaks volumes to you understanding what WWE can offer and how it’s changed.”
Logan Paul’s rapid rise in WWE has certainly been a hot topic, with fans and critics alike debating whether he’s earned the right to face Cena in what could be the legend’s farewell match. For Paul, however, it’s a now-or-never moment to step into the ring with one of wrestling’s biggest icons.
