Top WWE Star Reveals Issues with John Cena After Recent Encounter: “I Feel Betrayed”

Logan Paul addressed his elimination from the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble match at the hands of John Cena. Speaking on his vlog, Paul expressed disappointment over the elimination, particularly given their previous working relationship.

I feel betrayed by John Cena, if I’m being honest. I’ve looked up to him my whole life, and then he just tossed me out of the ring like I’m trash. I did his show, bro. We drove around in a car for three hours together, and he throws me over the rope?

Following his elimination, Paul deliberately stole a young Cena fan’s hat, an action that sparked speculation about a potential future confrontation. The incident occurred amid Paul’s pursuit of victory in the Royal Rumble match, which was ultimately won by Jey Uso.

Logan Paul Makes Demand to WWE After Royal Rumble

IShowSpeed became an unexpected participant in the Royal Rumble match after a backstage encounter with Triple H. The YouTube personality entered at number 8, replacing Akira Tozawa who had been attacked by Carmelo Hayes.

During his 56-second appearance, Speed managed to assist Bron Breakker in eliminating Otis. However, Breakker quickly turned on Speed, delivering a spear that sent him over the top rope and into Otis, who then launched him over the announce table.

Speaking on Impaulsive, Logan Paul praised Speed’s performance.

No, it was not my idea. I was told that Speed was coming to the Royal Rumble, then all of a sudden Triple H was like, ‘You’re in the Rumble.’ Speed is a superstar. A superstar. I watched the clip of him coming out for Gorilla, and him entering to 65,000 people. Looking like he had been there a thousand times. Huge pop as well. Crowd goes crazy. He comes, hits the Sewey. The whole arena, ‘Sewwwww.’ He’s never done this before, and took the nastiest bump ever from Bron Breakker. Thrown over the ropes, caught by Otis, thrown over the table. I asked him and he says he’s good but he’s in crutches and a neckbrace. The thing about Speed is he is obviously very physically capable. I’m tired of seeing him getting his ass kicked. In the WWE, Randy Orton, nasty RKO through a table. Now, Bron Breakker, spear. Otis threw him over a table. I want to see Speed kick some ass. It’s time for his get back.
