Why WWE Higher-Ups Are Opposed to John Cena Vs. Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41

by

As a seasoned gamer and avid WWE fan with over three decades of wrestling fandom under my belt, I must admit that I’m intrigued by the potential matchup between John Cena and Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41. While I respect the creative team’s reservations about having Paul as Cena’s final WrestleMania opponent, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the unconventional choices that have made WWE great in the past.

Over the past few weeks, there’s been talk that John Cena’s opponent for WWE WrestleMania 41 could be Logan Paul. With Cena preparing to embark on his farewell tour starting in January next year, as he announced his intention to retire from the promotion by 2025. He revealed that his retirement tour will span from January to December, with an estimated 35-40 appearances on the schedule.

It’s been confirmed that WWE will feature several of these appearances, such as John Cena’s debut on the first episode of WWE RAW on Netflix, airing January 6th. As his retirement tour nears, fans have been discussing who should square off with him at his last WrestleMania.

There’s been a lot of talk among fans about Randy Orton being the ideal opponent for Cena due to their history, but there’s also speculation that Cody Rhodes could face Cena at WrestleMania 41. Interestingly, rumors suggest a possible match between Logan Paul and John Cena at WrestleMania, although this idea has been met with strong resistance from the creative team.

According to WrestleVotes, there’s been talk about a possible Logan Paul vs. John Cena match at WrestleMania 31. But this idea has stirred up varying opinions. The creative team is mostly worried that Paul might not be the ideal final opponent for Cena in a WrestleMania event.

Ever since his debut in 2022, Logan Paul has consistently shone in high-profile matches such as the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, and against heavyweights like Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton within the WWE. His performances against top superstars have solidified his status as a formidable competitor. However, the creative team appears hesitant to pit him against John Cena at WrestleMania this year. Nevertheless, there’s speculation that a confrontation between the two could take place in 2025, albeit not at WrestleMania’s grand stage.

Looking forward to witnessing how events transpire when John Cena makes his appearance on the inaugural episode of RAW on Netflix, given that Logan Paul is scheduled to challenge him. It’s worth noting that Paul was recently announced as the latest addition to the red brand, in anticipation of its debut on Netflix.
