Logan Paul, the former WWE United States Champion, recently reflected on his electrifying match against the legendary John Cena during Cena’s farewell tour at the WWE Clash in Paris. Paul, known for his energetic presence, took to his Impaulsive podcast to spill all the details about the unforgettable encounter. Despite his loss, Paul was visibly in awe of Cena’s prowess in the ring, exclaiming, “Holy s**t, John Cena is so f*****g good.”
It wasn’t just a match for Paul, but a learning experience. Battling against the 17-time world champion was both exhausting and enlightening for the YouTuber-turned-wrestler. "I was admiring and learning," Paul said, emphasizing how Cena’s skills pushed him to his limits. Despite the physical toll, with Cena’s imposing 251-pound frame, Paul took it in stride, adding a touch of humor by referring to the bout as part of his honeymoon with wife Nina Agdal.
"Cena remains the biggest challenge of my life," Paul admitted, though he noted feeling less nervous than when he faced boxing icon Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The showdown in Paris was a highlight of the event and was the penultimate match of the night, stretching over 26 intense minutes. Although Paul put up a fierce fight, enduring multiple Attitude Adjustments, Cena emerged victorious. This match marked their first – and possibly only – clash in the WWE ring. However, fans might remember their brief alliance at Money in the Bank in June 2025, where they teamed up against Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes, only to face defeat.
Since the match, Paul has kept a low profile with no confirmed future WWE opponents. Cena, meanwhile, is gearing up for another high-profile match against Brock Lesnar, which promises to be a fitting finale to his WWE career, scheduled for Wrestlepalooza on September 20.
