John Cena will be on RAW's Netflix debut show next Monday. The Cenation Leader is expected to kick off his retirement tour in grand fashion on the red brand. Fans have been wondering if Cena will wrestle on the live show come January 6.
Speaking during a recent edition of Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, WrestleVotes addressed the rumors about John Cena getting back for a match on RAW's Netflix debut against Logan Paul. While the wrestling insider dismissed the gossip of the match happening this coming Monday, he reiterated his previous report that WWE was interested in doing Cena versus Paul.
"No, if they're asking if they can wrestle on Netflix show, I would say no. That match, if it were to happen, it's going to get heavily promoted. So no, yeah, that that story just remains as we reported last Thursday, you know, interest on both sides, interest within the WWE to do the match, however, not at WrestleMania, that's where," said WrestleVotes.

WrestleVotes previously reported that WWE management was against the idea of doing John Cena versus Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41 because they wanted the 16-time former world champion to face an established opponent on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Paul has pushed for a match against Cena in the past. He previously revealed on his IMPAULSIVE podcast that he texted Triple H to set up a match against Big Match John at WrestleMania 39 but it never came to fruition.
Cena would end up facing Austin Theory for the United States Championship. Paul, on the other hand, took on Seth Rollins in a match that also featured a cameo from KSI. It remains to be seen if John Cena and Logan Paul cross paths at RAW's Netflix premiere.
