Logan Paul has been one of the most controversial names in WWE ever since he first stepped into the ring. The former United States Champion has often been criticized due to his celebrity status, and his part-time schedule with WWE.

However, Logan Paul recently confirmed that he is now with the company full-time and it seems that a big name might have had something to do with his decision.

During a Q&A session at Fan Expo, Cena was asked which match he would replace on his retirement tour with a dream match if he could, and Cena had an interesting response as he recalled all the positive things that happened throughout the tour.

There’s a perspective out there that I will dodge questions like that, so I want to lean into that right. I want to lean into why I say what I say. I don’t think like that. Because if I were to say, like, ‘Oh man, I wish after I turned heel, The Rock and Travis Scott were on my team.’ That would be pretty cool, right? They’re crazy mega stars, and having them would be pretty cool. But we didn’t. And that’s what happened. But what did I get?

I got to have a match with Randy Orton in his hometown. I got to get CM Punk to go to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I got to bet on somebody who I think has a bright future in this business in Logan Paul and try to get the best out of him overseas in Paris. And maybe grease the wheels to convince him to finally be a full-time WWE employee, which he currently is. And I got magic with AJ Styles.

The Rock and Travis Scott probably would have been great. Who knows, it didn’t happen. But what I got in return instead of wishing in some fantasy element that I can’t control? What I got in return was magic. And I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”
