There is a long line of stars who want to work with John Cena next year, as he plans to retire in 2025. Among the names is Logan Paul, who has openly discussed wanting to wrestle the future WWE Hall of Famer.
There have been rumors that Paul was wrestling Cena at WrestleMania 41. WrestleVotes reported on Thursday that the idea of the two stars wrestling each other has been discussed in the company.
However, the idea was met with disapproval from several members of the creative team, with the general feeling that Paul shouldn’t be Cena’s final WrestleMania opponent. In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that the match isn’t happening.
Meltzer wrote, “Regarding some rumors, there probably were talks of Cena vs. Logan Paul at Mania, and Logan Paul did ask for it, but we’re told it’s 100 percent not happening. We also know the idea of Cena challenging for a world title to break the so-called record of 16 by Ric Flair is something that at least as a month ago could happen.”
Cena kicks off his WWE retirement tour on January 6th for the debut episode of Raw on Netflix.
