Recent reports have emerged suggesting that John Cena’s opponent for WWE WrestleMania 41 is likely to be Logan Paul. Cena is preparing to embark on his retirement tour, which is scheduled to begin in January. The 16-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion has announced intentions to retire from wrestling in 2025, with his farewell tour spanning from January to December and featuring approximately 35-40 appearances.
WWE has confirmed several of these appearances, including Cena’s participation in the debut episode of WWE RAW on Netflix, premiering on January 6. With the retirement tour approaching, fans are buzzing about potential opponents for Cena’s final WrestleMania match.
There is considerable speculation among fans that Randy Orton should be Cena’s final adversary, given their historic rivalry. Additionally, Cody Rhodes has been mentioned as a possible opponent at WrestleMania 41. Amidst this excitement, reports indicate that WWE has considered a match between Logan Paul and John Cena for WrestleMania; however, the creative team appears opposed to the idea.

Logan Paul has made a strong impact since his debut in 2022, showcasing impressive performances at events like the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank, and competing against top WWE talent such as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens, and Randy Orton. Despite his noteworthy track record, the creative team remains hesitant to pit Paul against Cena at WrestleMania. Nonetheless, there may be potential for a face-off between the two in 2025, just not at this year’s marquee event.
All eyes will be on John Cena’s debut appearance on RAW on Netflix, particularly with Logan Paul expected to confront him. Paul was recently announced as a new member of the red brand ahead of its Netflix premiere.
