John Cena roasts Logan Paul backstage at Wrestlemania 41

Paul revealed details of two backstage moments with Cena at Wrestlemania 41 and neither see the 17-time champion act too kindly with The Maverick.

“You know what John Cena said to me after my match—well, earlier in the day, because I just turned 30? He said, ‘You look older,'” said Paul.

After Cena won the WWE Championship and became the 17-time World Champion, Paul claims Cena told him: “Now that’s how a bad guy works.”

Cena and Paul also met inside the Elimination Chamber match on March 1, which The Champ won to set up a match with Cody Rhodes at Mania.

John Cena praises Logan Paul despite Wrestlemania dispute

Despite their clash backstage at Wrestlemania 41, Cena praised The Maverick for his match against AJ Styles.

Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show on April 21, Cena said: “Logan Paul, he’s a stud. I texted him right away after his match, ‘Dude, you are innovative.’

“From his entrance to holding a drone to thinking on another level, ‘I’m going to swing big and try something different.’

“I thought that was dope. His performance, he’s doing stuff that I couldn’t do at peak physical condition.”

There’s every chance Cena and Paul could meet during the star’s WWE retirement tour, which will next see him face Randy Orton at Backlash.

2025 ANDRE THE GIANT BATTLE ROYAL WINNER CROWNED ON WWE SMACKDOWN

On the WWE SmackDown before WWE WrestleMania 41, the WWE Universe crowned the 11th winner of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal in Las Vegas, Nevada. Outlasting a ton of human mass in his way, Carmelo Hayes threw out his sworn enemy Andrade last to claim the giant trophy for himself the night before WWE WrestleMania 41 Saturday night.

To show the WWE Universe what it means to win this battle royal, four of the past 10 winners held or would hold the world championship. Out of those 10, nine would win a championship, in general, in WWE. As you all can see, winning this Battle Royal not only commemorates the legacy of the greatest big man wrestling has ever seen, Andre The Giant, but it’s also a massive stepping stone to better things in the company.

Hayes and Andrade had a mini-classic, reminding fans of their seven-match epic in 2024. Andrade was closing in, standing on the ropes with Hayes to eliminate him. Carmelo would capitalize on this error, leapt off the ropes, and tossed out Andrade to be the last man standing.

There’s a lot to live up to, including the name of Andre The Giant and the past winners of this event. That said, if anyone could live up to it, it’s definitely Carmelo Hayes.

What did you think of WINNER winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal on WWE SmackDown?

MIKE TYSON 'COULD BE INVOLVED IN WWE SEGMENT WITH LOGAN PAUL' AT WRESTLEMANIA NEXT YEAR AFTER HEATED CONFRONTATION AT THE END OF THE BOXER'S DEFEAT BY INFLUENCER'S BROTHER JAKE

•  Tyson came out of retirement to box Jake but was dominated and lost the bout

• He also has a history with WWE and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012

• Logan, meanwhile, is a signed wrestler and could be involved with Tyson in April

WWE are interested in a segment involving Logan Paul and Mike Tyson at WrestleMania next year, according to a report.

Tyson has hit the mainstream media once again in recent months amid his boxing fight with Jake Paul, which was broadcast on Netflix on Friday night and saw Paul win via unanimous decision.

As is the nature with crossover boxing, influencer Paul has lifted the status of former world champion Tyson, who has refused to rule out another fight despite admitting he nearly died earlier this year, to the limelight again.

He has a history with WWE, being a prominent figure in the attitude era and being heavily involved at WrestleMania 14, before returning in 2010 and having his only professional wrestling match against Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

In 2012, Tyson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, and has maintained a strong relationship with the company. Now, he could be set to return once again, for a segment with Paul's brother, Logan.

Logan is a WWE star and former United States champion, and, according to WrestleVotes, could be set to step inside the ring with Tyson in one way or another when WrestleMania 41 comes around next April.

The report suggests that there is 'interest' in a potential face-off between the duo following the success of Friday night. In the aftermath of the fight, Logan told the 58-year-old he would 'kill' him after Tyson called him out for a boxing match next.

Paul has had mixed reviews around his work in WWE. Debuting in 2021 as a celebrity guest, he began training in wrestling and debuted at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. His success would continue, eventually claiming the United States championship.

Though the influencer impressed with his quick adaptation to the nature of professional wrestling, his appearances were sparse, with the now-29-year-old unable to commit to a full-time schedule despite being a champion.

He dropped his belt to LA Knight at SummerSlam in August, and has not been seen in the promotion since.

Still, it it likely he will be involved at WrestleMania due to the star power and following he boasts, and a segment with Tyson could make sense for all parties involved.

After the fight on Friday, Logan told Mail Sport: 'I f***ing love Uncle Mike. That was impressive.'

When asked if he would take a potential fight against him, he shook his head and said: 'I think he wants money, I don't think he want to fight me. Uh-uh.' When asked why, he remained silent. 

Tyson, though a WWE Hall of Famer, has also been involved with All Elite Wrestling, WWE's arch rivals, in recent years.

His future remains unclear, with his time in the boxing ring seemingly not up despite his recent struggles. He did, though, reject an approach from former rival Evander Holyfield to arrange a trilogy fight, with Holyfield eager to push the cause on Instagram.
