John Cena faced off against Logan Paul at WWE Clash in Paris, in what was one of the best matches of his retirement run. Hall of Famer Teddy Long was apparently very impressed with the performance, according to his recent comments.
Cena's experience in the ring paired up with Logan Paul's energy made the match a standout on the card, with both stars giving it their all. Despite getting close a few times, Logan was ultimately taken down in the final seconds of the match and pinned by Cena. Nevertheless, the bout showcased the Maverick's talent again and proved that he belonged to the pro-wrestling business.
Speaking on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, Teddy Long had the following to say when asked about his opinion of the match.
"There is really nothing to say. I mean, Bill (Apter) just said it all, you know, and I agree. Logan Paul is gonna certainly be a big star. And I think for John Cena to work with and pass the torch, you know, it couldn't have went any better than that." [0:58 onwards]
