John Cena has revealed that he sent Logan Paul clips of an AEW star before their showdown at WWE Clash in Paris.
At WWE Clash in Paris, Cena and Paul delivered an incredible match that saw both men pay tribute to several wrestling stars. Paul performed Nic Nemeth’s Zig Zag and delivered an uppercut similar to Claudio Castagnoli. Meanwhile, Cena surprised fans by hitting Christopher Daniels’ Angel’s Wings, Bishop Dyer’s End of Days, and AJ Styles’ Styles Clash.
Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Cena explained how he helped Paul expand his moveset before the match. “With Logan [Paul], he doesn’t have that many matches to go on. A lot of stuff he was doing was viral moments. ‘I need something more than that.'”
He noticed similarities between Paul and AEW star Claudio Castagnoli formerly known as Cesaro in WWE. “We never left the ring. I saw Logan, and I’m like, ‘You look and work like Cesaro.'”
Cena mentioned he called Castagnoli to borrow his movies, “I called Claudio [Castagnoli], ‘Can I borrow some stuff, please?’ ‘Are you kidding me?’ He’s part of the coffee group. ‘No problem. I can’t be there. It would be an honor.’ I’m like, ‘Logan, watch this guy. These are things I think you can do.'”
He then sent Paul modified clips of Castagnoli’s signature moves. “I’m sending him (Logan Paul) modified clips of the super European (uppercut), the giant swing, all things I thought Cesaro did well that I think Logan can do well. ‘This might help you wih you style. Get more stuff.’ Take it from Five Moves of Doom, there is going to come a time where you need more stuff.” [H/T: f4wonline]
The match at Clash in Paris also stood out because neither John Cena nor Logan Paul left the ring during the entire 26-minute bout.
