Logan Paul couldn’t outshine John Cena at WWE Clash in Paris 2025. The American influencer tried everything in his power to take down the Cenation Leader, but he ended up defeated. Paul has a lot to offer, but what will WWE do for The Maverick going forward?
Logan Paul signed with WWE in 2022 and has since become the United States Champion once. He failed to capture the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel on November 5, 2022. Three years later, Paul is involved with the 17-time World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena. Logan has immense potential and could be an asset for the company. WWE needs to find a way to incorporate him into storylines that involve either championships or major names.
WWE has many stars who can put on a show with the boxer. The Prime business owner could try to become a member of a prominent faction or randomly pick a fight to elevate another superstar. This could help him gain more TV time while also boosting the career of another wrestler. It could lead to compelling back-and-forth exchanges on the mic, followed by thrilling action between the ropes.
Logan Paul received harsh words from John Cena during their build-up to Clash in Paris 2025. With the WWE PLE in the record books, Paul could aim to sell out arenas by making storylines deeply personal. He could target Jey Uso or even challenge the Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. While the two have clashed in one singles match, two tag team matches, and one multi-man match, they could still deliver a classic.
Rhodes is currently out of action but may return soon. Logan Paul could make Cody’s absence the focal point of a feud. He could criticize Rhodes for being absent from television and quote The American Nightmare’s own words about Roman Reigns’ part-time schedule. This could prompt the former AEW Vice President to return to TV sooner. Paul knows that fans would be stunned by his bold words toward Rhodes. The former United States Champion could elevate his status by rallying fans around this sentiment.
Logan Paul received advice from John Cena about hustle, loyalty, and respect during the go-home episode of SmackDown before Clash in Paris 2025. After his loss in Paris, Paul could have a change of heart and embrace his good side. While challenging, this wouldn’t be the first time Paul has turned babyface in WWE. He previously turned babyface when The Miz attacked him after their tag team match victory against Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio.
Logan Paul generates generic heat from fans, but he has the skill to win them over. He even displayed a babyface attitude when he tweeted respect for John Cena and his win at Clash in Paris 2025. It’s possible that Cena’s words touched Paul’s heart, inspiring him to return to the good side. While this may be a short-lived run, it could position him better and allow him to work alongside CM Punk against The Vision before eventually revealing his true colors. It would be intriguing to see if this becomes a reality.
