During a recent edition of his Impaulsive podcast, Logan Paul revealed his brief interaction with John Cena at WrestleMania 41. Earlier in the day, Cena told Paul that he looked older, since he had turned 30, saying “You know what John Cena said to me after my match—well, earlier in the day, because I just turned 30? He said, ‘You look older.’ And I said, ‘Wow, you really are a heel.’
Following his match against AJ Styles at the show, Cena walked past Logan Paul and praised him for being a top heel. And then later in the day, after my match, he was walking by—before he became the GOAT statistically as well as just being the GOAT—he pointed at me and he said, ‘Now that’s how a bad guy works.’ And I was like, ‘Damn,’ said Logan Paul.

Logan Paul put up a spectacular performance in his match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 41 Sunday. Following a highly intense showdown, it was the former WWE United States Champion who secured the pinfall over Styles to etch a huge win to his resume. As for John Cena, he himself created history on the same night. The Cenation Leader enlisted the help of Travis Scott and questionable tactics to dethrone Cody Rhodes and win his record-setting 17th WWE Championship.
On the other hand, Logan Paul has said on numerous occasions that he would like to step in the ring with John Cena before he retires from the ring. With Cena now the ruthless Undisputed WWE Champion, it will be interesting to see if Paul could get his wish and have a match with Cena before the end of his farewell tour.
