Everyone wants a chance with John Cena when his career comes to an end – Logan Paul is one of the lucky ones.
The YouTuber turned WWE star found himself in a brief storyline with Cena, whose final match will take place on December 13, that saw them as friends turned rivals.
Cena criticized Paul on an episode of “Friday Night SmackDown” before their match at Clash in Paris in August.

The never-seen 17-time world champion took the win, but Paul said it was “truly an honour” to go toe-to-toe with arguably the greatest of all time.
“I’m disappointed that I didn’t come out on top. It’s really good. I don’t know what to say. Halfway through the match, I thought, ‘Oh, this is a different level of fighter,'” Paul said in a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital. “But yeah, I mean, it’s John Cena, so I got my match. I’ll see if I can try to convince him to come back for one more so I can beat him next time. But even though he told me he’s not going to do that, he’s not going to do it.”

In the interview, it was discussed that Paul could crash the party on December 13, even though the finalists of the “Last Time is Now” tournament are Gunther and LA Knight.
“I’m not above that,” Paul admitted.
Cena’s final match will take place in Washington, DC, and President Donald Trump is known for his love of combat sports. Paul, who attended Trump’s inauguration and interviewed him on his own podcast last year, did not rule out a possible Trump attendance at Cena’s final fight.
“We (people at WWE) have talked about it. I have no idea. It seems like something that could happen. I think it would be great. But I don’t know how political WWE wants to get, so I’m not sure,” Paul said.
Trump is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame in part due to his appearance at WrestleMania 23.

There has been much speculation that Edge, one of Cena’s biggest rivals, could return to WWE for the first time since 2023 to face Cena.
