John Cena will be in action against Logan Paul at the upcoming Clash in Paris Premium Live Event. This will be his first match since losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025.

While Cena losing the title to Rhodes was one of the talking points of SummerSlam, it was Brock Lesnar's return that left the fans stunned. The Beast Incarnate was back on WWE television for the first time in two years, as he planted Cena with an F-5.

Cena and Lesnar's feud is expected to pick up pace, but first, the 17-time WWE World Champion will have to deal with The Maverick. Brock Lesnar's next appearance hasn't been confirmed, but he could once again steal the show by returning for the first time since SummerSlam and costing John Cena his match against Logan Paul. The move would totally make sense, as it would also allow the promotion to set up what could very well be the final clash between The Cenation Leader and The Beast Incarnate.

The 266-pound former WWE Universal Champion is no stranger to stepping into the ring with the Last Real Champion. In fact, there have been reports of them potentially crossing paths at Wrestlepalooza in September 2025.

John Cena opens up about his relationship with the audience

John Cena admitted that his biggest rival has been the audience, whom he has tried to break for almost 25 years. Speaking on WIRED, the Cenation leader had this to say:

"That one's simple. The audience. My goodness, we've been going back and forth for almost 25 years now. You're tireless. You have an energy of a battery. I've tried to break you. I can't. You got me on the ropes. This is my last nerve. I've said I'm gonna retire and I will go down swinging trying to crack your resolve but dammit, you guys are tough. You are my biggest rival."

John Cena will first have to get through Logan Paul at Clash in Paris before shifting his attention to his next opponent, who could very well be Brock Lesnar.
