Logan Paul has laid down a huge challenge to face WWE legend John Cena at WrestleMania 39.

The YouTuber turned wrestler, who recently lost to Roman Reigns in a huge world championship bout at Crown Jewel, signed a deal with the wrestling giant earlier this year and has impressed in his three matches so far, and now he’s eyeing up another big money clash.

Speaking on his own ImPaulsive podcast, he said: ‘After the Crown Jewel event, John Cena posted about me on his Instagram. And then I saw an article saying he’s looking for an opponent at WrestleMania.

‘I favourited it, responded with “the eyes [emoji]”. I mean, truthfully, I think me vs. John Cena would break the internet.’

Logan. who suffered an injury during his Crown Jewel match, revealed he’s even pitched the idea direct to WWE boss Triple H, although he didn’t go into the legend’s response.

He added: ‘I texted Triple H right away, “Do you want to break the internet again?” That’s a dream matchup, dude: at WrestleMania, in LA, on my birthday. Triple H, throw me a bone, give me a birthday present, let me take out John Cena. And that’d be crazy.’

Although the star acknowledged there would be some backlash from fans and even other wrestlers if he found himself facing Cena in what would likely only be Logan’s fourth ever match, he thinks that’s where his WWE future should lie.

He teased: ‘I think that’s the model I’m going to pitch to WWE – to give you an insight into what our meetings look like.

‘This week, we’re meeting with them, I’m just going to be like, “Hey, this works for me. Put me up against the best y’all have, I’m gonna f****** deliver. You know that for a fact. Not only to put on an amazing match, but I’m going to put asses in seats and eyeballs glued to the television.” ‘

If the match was to happen, it would add to what is already shaping up to be a potentially historic event, as Cena’s fellow Hollywood heavyweight Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been at the centre of rumours surrounding a dream match with his cousin Roman Reigns.

The Rock has made it clear he’s interested in a return to wrestling, and he could be in good company with speculation his longtime rival ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin may also perform again after his epic comeback earlier this year.
