Logan Paul Says WWE Will Thrive Without John Cena

Logan Paul doesn’t seem to be a big fan of John Cena’s final match. Just like a lot of people who watched Saturday Night’s Main Event, he also thinks Cena tapping out didn’t feel true to his character.

He shared his thoughts on Cena’s retirement and said WWE will thrive with him and The Vision on the front line.

Logan Paul Says He Is In Charge Of WWE Now That John Cena Is Gone From WWE

In his recent YouTube video, Logan Paul shared his thoughts on John Cena’s retirement match. Paul didn’t like that Cena tapped out, but he isn’t too upset because he thinks WWE will thrive without The Cenation Leader, because Paul has the reins. Paul said:

“As John Cena would say, you got to earn your sunset, which he definitely did not in his last match. 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, 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 was a microcosm of what the future of WWE could look like. The talent from NXT, the Oba Femis, the Sol Rucas, Je’von Evans, me, now it’s going to get exciting.”

In the same vlog, Logan Paul also responded to fans who criticized him for having a part-time schedule in WWE.

Logan Paul is currently feuding with Rey Mysterio on WWE programming. Both wrestlers recently squared off on Monday Night Raw, which ended with Austin Theory interfering in the match and revealing himself as the masked man.
