10 Booking Steps For WWE's Road To WrestleMania 41
2. Logan Paul Eliminates John Cena
WWE would have an easier time trying to turn Logan Paul babyface than Charlotte. OK, that was said for effect. It isn't true. A large portion of the fanbase will never accept Paul no matter how much of a natural he is. Those folks will also hate the following booking: Logan beating Rey Mysterio to qualify for Elimination Chamber then pinning John Cena on 1 March come the match itself.
The Rogers Centre would be irate. No, they will be irate.
Cena clotheslined Paul over the top rope to the floor at the Rumble. That won't go without a rebuttal, because this is loudmouth celeb turned wrestler Logan Paul we're talking about. He's been openly pitching a match vs. Cena backstage to anyone who will listen, and that'll only be tenfold now they've done some business on a major WWE PLE. If Triple H thought his phone was blowing up before...
Look, it's obvious that a fair chunk of fans outright reject the thought of Cena's final WrestleMania match ever being against Paul. Fair enough, but that doesn't need to define his retirement run completely. WWE still has the rest of 2025 to play with here, and Hunter has shown faith in Logan before. This isn't out of the question.
LP eliminating JC from Chamber contention and thus crushing his 17th World Title dreams for 'Mania is the kind of tale that'd put scorching heat on the ex-YouTuber. Naturally, that'd have a knock on impact for Cena's ambitions. You know what's coming next. Even if you hate it, you know what's coming!
