John Cena praised Logan Paul as an innovative and resilient WWE superstar following their victories at WrestleMania 41, commending Paul’s seamless transition from social media to wrestling despite criticism for his rapid rise.
John Cena’s making waves after snagging his 17th championship at WWE’s WrestleMania 41. Yet, amidst all the buzz, he took a moment to shout out Logan Paul as one of his fave rising stars on the roster.
Same night Cena bested Cody Rhodes in the main event, Logan Paul clinched his own victory. He took down A.J. Styles in a thrilling match at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas. Sure, Paul’s been praised for quickly adapting to wrestling, but he’s also faced criticism for climbing the ranks without the usual grind.
To Cena, though? None of that noise matters. Paul’s proving himself every time he hits the ring. And honestly, does Paul even care what folks think?
"Logan Paul’s a stud," Cena declared on The Pat McAfee Show. Right after Paul’s match, Cena shot him a text: "Dude, you are innovative," he said. From drone entrances to swinging big with new ideas—Paul’s doing stuff Cena couldn’t dream of at his peak.
Love him or hate him, Paul’s pulling off athletic feats that rival any seasoned wrestler out there. "Here’s what I like most about Logan Paul — he doesn’t give two shits if ya’ll like him or not," Cena continued. This guy’s authentic, and someday everyone will see it.
Paul made quite the entrance Sunday night, strutting to the ring with a drone capturing his every move before letting it soar across the arena. Cena was floored by how Paul has leveraged his social media and YouTube savviness to become relevant in WWE.
Cena gets it—Paul’s antics have earned him some heat over the years. But rolling with punches? That’s only going to help him as his wrestling career unfolds.
"He’s been hated but also forged through fire," Cena remarked. "Like ‘oh man, you’ll never work in this town again.’ He’s had that call 10 or 12 times." And yet? He doesn’t care. He’s relentless, always getting back up.
