Update on John Cena’s WWE WrestleMania 41 plans
It doesn’t look like Logan Paul will be John Cena’s final WrestleMania opponent.
Addressing rumors that circulated online recently, Dave Meltzer reports that he’s been told Cena vs. Logan Paul is “100 percent not happening” at WrestleMania 41. Cena challenging for a World Championship at the show is a possibility — with Cena attempting to break the World title record that he shares with Ric Flair.
Meltzer wrote in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
Regarding some rumors, there probably were talks of Cena vs. Logan Paul at Mania and Logan Paul did ask for it, but we’re told it’s 100 percent not happening. We also know the idea of Cena challenging for a world title to break the so-called record of 16 by Ric Flair is something that at least as a month ago could happen
The two World titles in WWE are currently held by Cody Rhodes and Gunther.
2025 will be the final year of Cena’s in-ring career. He’s set to work around 36 dates for WWE from January through December. The first date on his retirement tour will be Raw’s Netflix premiere on January 6.
WrestleMania 41 is being held in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20.
WrestleVotes also reported earlier this week that, while Cena vs. Paul has been discussed for WrestleMania 41, the idea has been met with “resounding disapproval from several within creative.”
