Internal debate surrounds John Cena vs. Logan Paul match at WrestleMania 41
WWE management’s reservation about booking Logan Paul as John Cena’s final WrestleMania opponent stems from the historic significance of the event.
John Cena’s final WrestleMania appearance has sparked internal discussions within WWE regarding potential opponents. While Logan Paul’s name emerged as a possibility for the 16-time World Champion’s farewell match, management has expressed reservations about the pairing.
A report from WrestleVotes indicates WWE officials are hesitant to book Paul as Cena’s last WrestleMania opponent. The decision reportedly stems from the historic nature of the event, with management seeking a more established competitor for Cena’s final appearance on wrestling’s grandest stage.
The situation remains fluid as WWE approaches the Road to WrestleMania season, with several weeks remaining before plans need to be finalized. While Paul has proven himself as an exceptional athlete in recent performances, the company appears focused on delivering a memorable sendoff for one of its most decorated performers.
Potential historic achievement awaits Cena at Royal Rumble
As discussions continue about WrestleMania plans, another significant opportunity looms for John Cena at the Royal Rumble. The veteran performer could make history by capturing his 17th world championship at the premium live event, breaking his current tie with Ric Flair for most world title reigns.
Cena’s return on RAW’s Netflix premiere could set the stage for a championship opportunity against Intercontinental Champion Gunther on February 1.
His last world title victory came at Royal Rumble 2017, marking what would be a 2,925-day gap between championship reigns if successful.
