Former 24/7 Champion Peter Rosenberg suggests the 16-time World Champion might return to pursue unprecedented title reign milestone.
John Cena’s anticipated return to WWE in 2025 could lead to a World Heavyweight Championship match against Gunther at WrestleMania 41. The championship pursuit would give Cena an opportunity to surpass Ric Flair’s record of 16 world title reigns.
During an appearance on the ZASLOW SHOW 2.0, Rosenberg shared his vision for Cena’s potential path to the championship. He outlined a scenario involving a Royal Rumble victory that would tie Stone Cold Steve Austin’s record of three wins in the annual event:
I want him to beat Gunther at WrestleMania. I’m tired of seeing him lose. I would love for him to win the Rumble. It would be his third win. I think that ties him with Stone Cold Steve Austin for Royal Rumble wins. Then he could break Ric Flair’s record. I would love that.
Gunther responds to Logan Paul’s championship aspirations
As World Heavyweight Champion Gunther extends his reign beyond 138 days, new challenger Logan Paul has emerged following his confirmation as the newest member of RAW by General Manager Adam Pearce.
The Ring General addressed Paul’s championship ambitions during the RAW on Netflix Kickoff:
Paul is obviously a talented man, athletically and also in the entertainment world. He’s a jack of all trades, as they say, but I don’t believe World Heavyweight Champion is one of them. That being said, I think my English is pretty good now, but I’ll make it even simpler. If Logan Paul thinks he can come in here and take this from me, if he makes it to the top of the line to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship, it will be my duty and pleasure to wipe that stupid smile off his face.
Paul’s previous world title opportunities include matches against Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel 2022 and against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at King & Queen of the Ring in May 2024.
