Step aside, John Cena. There seems to be another man ready to be the face of WWE.
Last weekend, the wrestling world said goodbye to the in-ring career of John Cena at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. During it, Cena enjoyed 17 world championships, 100 premium live event wins, and several years as a top star.
One sports finance expert believes WWE will lose money without Cena. Despite that, Logan Paul suggests that WWE might actually be better off without Cena now.
“As John Cena would say, ‘You got to earn your sunset,’ which he definitely did not in his last match,” Paul said in his latest YouTube vlog. “I watched John Cena’s last match last night. He was wrestling Gunther and he tapped out with a sleeper hold. John Cena’s whole thing is never give up and he gave up. The good news is now with a guy like John gone, this company can really thrive with me in charge and The Vision leading the way. All of yesterday’s match actually was a microcosm of what the future of WWE might look like. The talent from NXT, the Oba Femis, the Sol Rucas, Je’Von Evans, me, like now it’s going to get exciting.”
In recent weeks, Paul has aligned himself with Bron Breakker, Bronson, and Paul Heyman, together known as The Vision. As it stands, Breakker is positioned as the number one contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Meanwhile, Paul remains a former United States Champion with WrestleMania wins over the likes of AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and Kevin Owens.
Following SNME, Cena is now retired from in-ring competition, though he is still a part of the WWE family as an ambassador.
