John Cena to face 29-year-old WWE star at WrestleMania 41, says veteran; believes it could help retiring legend!

John Cena has set his sights on winning his record-breaking 17th World Title at WrestleMania 41. However, longtime wrestling veteran Jonathan Coachman believes that a match against Logan Paul might be more helpful to both parties.

Cena entered the 2025 Royal Rumble match with the intent of earning a main event slot at WrestleMania 41. He reached the final two but was eliminated by Jey Uso. The Franchise Player then declared his participation in the Elimination Chamber match to determine the No. 1 contender for Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship.

While The Cenation Leader is favored to win, Jonathan Coachman believes that Cena vs. Logan Paul could be a better matchup at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Speaking on The Coach and Bro podcast, he said:

"Can you imagine the promos if Logan Paul and John Cena have four or five weeks to build up to this thing at WrestleMania? And he's telling, ‘By the way, shave your head. I'm tired of the bald spot in the back.’ (…) Logan Paul, not only could he give Cena the rub, but Cena would absolutely give Logan Paul the rub, and I think it could really launch Logan Paul into the stratosphere, if they had a really good match," Coachman said on The Coach and Bro Show.

Jonathan Coachman also brought up the possibility of turning Cena heel in his final year as an in-ring competitor. However, he doesn't think it adds anything to the veteran's legendary legacy.
