John Cena: I Think Logan Paul Is Underrated, He Belongs In WWE
John Cena believes Logan Paul belongs in WWE.
John Cena praises Logan Paul.
Paul has featured as part of John Cena’s retirement tour in more ways than one, with the pair previously meeting in the Royal Rumble earlier this year as well as teaming up at WWE Money In The Bank. However, the two are now set to collide in singles action at WWE Clash In Paris later this month.
While speaking at Fan Expo Chicago, Cena spoke about Logan, commenting on how Paul is ‘not a very likeable guy’.
“I’ve always been one of those guys you don’t have to like. You can hate me if you want. But I’d like to think I’ve earned people’s respect. So what I’m about to say might not be the answer you’re looking for, but hopefully you’ll respect it. Do I think Logan Paul can beat me up? Yes. I think he’s got a very good chance because he’s really good at WWE. I know a lot of people in this room don’t like him. He’s not a very likeable guy.
Cena would then respond to a fan calling Paul ‘overrated’, noting that he disagrees.
“I disagree, I think he’s underrated. I think he gets a bad rap. He’s not an outsider, he belongs in WWE. I think his best days are still ahead of him, he’s got championships in his future. I can tell you I’m not looking past Logan Paul, and I’m not believing any of the hype that he’s an outsider who should be taken lightly. I’m training hard. Cody Rhodes brought out the best in me at SummerSlam, he reignited a fire in me, and I know I’ve got a very tough opponent in Logan Paul. So do I think he can beat me up? Yes. Will he have to earn every inch? Absolutely.”
