Opportunities to face “The Never-Seen Seventeen” are drying up, but Logan Paul has never been known to let a probability on the highlight slip past him. As of Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown,” John Cena and Paul are slated to clash at Clash in Paris.
With a brand new passion for skilled wrestling lit under him, Cena took to the post-SummerSlam episode of “SmackDown” to state his plans for the longer term, only to be interrupted by Paul’s antagonistic antics. Paul took to the microphone to reaffirm his in-ring greatness, and while Cena tentatively agreed with the young celebrity, he made sure to call the social media star the “biggest dumba** [he] had ever seen in [his] life.” Tensions continued to run high as Paul challenged Cena to a match at Clash in Paris, and things exploded as known Paul associate Drew McIntyre appeared to attack Cena from behind. While Cody Rhodes arrived to Cena’s aid, Cena ultimately accepted Paul’s challenge for singles motion in Paris.

Cena is slated to look on WWE’s upcoming European tour, which is able to see them film two episodes of “SmackDown:” one from Dublin on August 22, and one from Lyon on August 29. While Paul’s exact schedule is unclear, the part-timer has been appearing on Friday nights more readily, as seen from his recent feud with country singer and rapper Jelly Roll. Notably, Brock Lesnar, who’s poised to feud with Cena following his controversial SummerSlam return, didn’t appear on Friday’s edition of “SmackDown.”
After Clash in Paris, Cena is just scheduled for 4 more dates. He will probably be present for WWE’s Australia tour, which is able to see him in Perth for “SmackDown,” Crown Jewel, and “WWE Raw” in mid-October. Cena is anticipated to wrestle his final match in December, but no specific date has been announced.
