Major star to return from 'retirement' after 156 days and injure John Cena on WWE RAW? Potential scenario explored
John Cena is set to return to WWE programming on RAW's debut on Netflix which will take place on January 6, 2025. The Cenation Leader is set to embark on a final run before hanging up his boots and there are multiple storylines the company would be hoping to book for his retirement tour.
Cena is widely regarded as one of the greatest of all time. The 47-year-old revealed earlier this year that he will return to WWE in 2025 for his retirement tour, which will likely end in December next year. Since the announcement, fans have been speculating the names the 16-time World Champion can work with in his final run. One such talent is Logan Paul.
Given the level of star power a potential match between The Maverick and John Cena holds, WWE could book it soon. With Cena set to return on RAW's Netflix debut, the social media megastar could also make his comeback on the show and take the 16-time World Champion out.
The abovementioned angle could set up a bout at Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber if Triple H and Co. have a bigger match in store for The Cenation Leader at WrestleMania 41.
Logan Paul last entered the squared circle at SummerSlam on August 3 when he dropped the United States Championship to LA Knight. The Maverick recently announced that he is now retired, but it is likely that the YouTuber is just working fans and will return during WrestleMania 41 season.
WWE has reportedly been planning a match between John Cena and Logan Paul
Besides fans, WWE is also reportedly open to a showdown between Logan Paul and John Cena during the latter's retirement tour. As reported by WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, Triple H and Co. are interested in pitting the two megastars against each other at one point during Cena's final run.
Paul himself has expressed his desire to stand across the ring from the 16-time World Champion. Given The Maverick's excellent in-ring abilities and heel tendencies, he could be a perfect opponent for Cena at one of the major premium live events next year.
Apart from Logan Paul, there are also speculations of John Cena facing Gunther in his final run. The Cenation Leader could win his 17th world title at WrestleMania 41 and fans are majorly behind the idea.
