The wrestler-turned-actor took to his Instagram to post a picture of Logan Paul sporting a replica WWE Championship standing alongside his brother Jake Paul. As noted, John does not caption his Instagram posts for viewers to form their own perceptions.
By the looks of it, it’s clear as day that John Cena is teasing a potential match with Logan Paul at WrestleMania 39. It was also previously reported by Wrestling.Co that Logan Paul will be scheduled to compete with John Cena at Mania.
Now it appears as if the match was in talks for a long time, as Logan Paul once said on his Impaulsive podcast that he would love to wrestle John Cena at WrestleMania.
“I think me versus John Cena would break the internet, and I texted Triple H right away and said, do you want to break the internet again?
“That’s a dream match-up, dude. At WrestleMania in L.A. next year on my birthday? Triple H, throw me a bone.” Said Paul.
But what about Austin Theory?
As noted above, before Logan Paul was even in the picture, the United States Champion Austin Theory was the guy to face John Cena. In the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that John Cena is likelier to face Austin Theory at Mania, as it was the original plan.
Even Cena once named Austin Theory as his favorite opponent for WrestleMania. At some point, Cody Rhodes was also mentioned as Cena’s potential opponent for the show of shows. However, it remains to be seen, who locks horns with the Hollywood actor come WrestleMania 39.
“It looks like it’s going to be Cena and Theory at ‘Mania. It was the plan way, way back.”
