WWE held a new episode of Friday Night SmackDown this afternoon, this time from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The show was pre-taped on Netflix internationally and featured some important matches and moments, highlighting the appearance of John Cena.
Despite announcing Cena's solo appearance beforehand, Logan Paul ended up being part of the segment. Logan Paul quickly interrupted Cena's promo and took the mic to taunt the fans, calling out John Cena as the real impostor, the wrestler who isn't truly full-time in the company because he spends his time making movies.
John Cena took his turn to agree with Logan Paul, describing him as a great athlete. He also acknowledged that he wasn't an 'outsider' but indeed a disappointment. Cena went down to ringside, pointed at the PRIME bottles, and said that Paul was only in WWE for commercial purposes, then he threw the bottle display. Cena reminded everyone that Logan Paul has had 23 matches, mocking that number by pointing out that he has been in the business for 23 years, busting his butt. He also labeled him as a "parasite," and the audience repeated that word over and over. Cena recalled various wrestlers he has faced, and the crowd chanted AJ Styles' name.
John Cena reiterated his motto and said that Logan Paul has neither loyalty nor respect. He also mentioned that Paul's most important fight will be at Clash in Paris, where he will face the "greatest of all time." John promised him that he will end him unless Paul understands what it means to give everything for this business. Paul had enough and tried to hit Cena, but the seventeen-time champion dodged him and delivered the Attitude Adjustment to end a great promo.
John Cena is in the final stretch of his active wrestling career. The seventeen-time world champion will retire on December 13, but he still has a lot to share. Recently, his match with Logan Paul at Clash in Paris on August 31 was confirmed.
Some specialized media outlets have reported that John Cena will face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. This fight was initially planned for Clash in Paris, but the significance of WWE's debut on ESPN in a premium live event format led to a change in plans.
