Logan Paul wanted to face John Cena at Wrestlemania 39
WWE considers this to be a big money match that will generate mainstream media headlines given the star powers that John Cena and Logan Paul have in real life. Besides this isn’t the first time that the two have shown interest in competing in a match. Paul told listeners of his ImPaulsive podcast that he wanted a match with the WWE Legend at the following year’s WrestleMania 39 would be something he’d look forward to,
“I think me vs. John Cena would break the internet. I texted Triple H right away, ‘do you want to break the internet again?’ That’s a dream matchup.”
Despite making this public pledge, the 16-time world champion went on to face then-U.S. Champion Austin Theory during the opener of Wrestlemania 39 Night One while The Maverick’s match would fall on his birthday where he’d lose to Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.
Being one of the biggest names in wrestling history, it doesn’t appear to be a surprise that several wrestlers have already declared themselves for a match during John Cena’s farewell tour. CM Punk hopes to team with him before the latter calls it a quit while former WWE Champions like Rob Van Dam and The Miz are also hoping to get one last match with him.
