Logan Paul is coming after John Cena.
Paul earned plenty of praise for fans and fellow wrestlers following his performance at WWE Crown Jewel when he took on Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Though Paul was not victorious, his performance stood out and even John Cena took notice.
Cena posted one of his non-caption photos of Paul on Instagram, to which Paul responded with the eyes emoji on Twitter of an article saying Cena was looking for a WrestleMania opponent.

On ImPAULsive, Logan offered more insight to a potential showdown with Cena.
"That's my dream. I've proven the model twice now. I've proven the model of; headstrong capable internet kid vs. a GOAT, a top-tier industry leader. Floyd (Mayweather). That worked. Generated $65-70 million dollars. Reigns. Crown Jewel became the number one most-viewed international pay-per-view event WWE has ever had. I've done it twice. The reason is, when I'm paired with a legend, a top-tier industry leader, the model works. After Crown Jewel, John Cena posted me on his Instagram and then I saw an article saying he's looking for an opponent at WrestleMania. I favorited it, responded with the eyes. Truthfully, I think me vs. John Cena would break the internet. I texted Triple H right away, 'do you want to break the internet again?' That's a dream match. WrestleMania, in LA, on my birthday. Triple H, throw me a bone, give me a birthday present, let me take out John Cena. That'd be crazy," he said.
He continued, "That's the model I'm going to pitch to WWE. This week, we're meeting with them, I'm going to be like, 'Hey, this works for me. Put me up against the best y'all have. I'm gonna fucking deliver. You know that for a fact. Not only put on an amazing match, but I'm going to put asses in seats and eyeballs on the television.' Since I'm an outsider, they have to treat my career in the WWE a little differently than they have with the rest of the roster. The only caveat to this, is I could see how other wrestlers and fans would throw their arms in the air, 'why is he getting a shot at Cena or Randy Orton?' The answer is, I'm going to make fucking money."
Paul suffered a knee injury in the match with Reigns, though he clarified on the podcast that it could have been worse and he would provide an update on his condition soon.
It is unknown if Cena will be returning to the ring for WrestleMania 39, which is scheduled for April 1 & 2. Paul's birthday is April 1. Cena has not wrestled on television since WWE SummerSlam 2021 when he lost to Reigns.
