SmackDown in Lyon: John Cena Apologizes to Brussels Fan, Escalates War of Words With Logan Paul

Cena’s on-air contrition framed a verbal faceoff that kept tempers high and hands off before Clash in Paris.

Overview

  • Logan Paul opened by rejecting the “parasite” label, calling himself a disruptor and crediting himself with WWE’s Netflix and ESPN deals while declaring he is the company’s future.
  • John Cena countered that Paul is a “wannabe,” branding him “a dollar store John Cena” and arguing Paul’s influence is waning beyond WWE.
  • The rivals traded lines in French, with Cena vowing to teach Paul respect as the Lyon crowd reacted to the bilingual barbs.
  • Cena left the ring to apologize to the Brussels fan he previously called “toxic,” telling the young supporter he was having a bad day.
  • The segment ended without a physical confrontation, punctuated by Cena calling Paul a “dickhead,” as they head to their Clash in Paris match on Sunday.
