John Cena reacts to Logan Paul's bold tag team name ideas ahead of Money in the Bank
Image via WWE WWE fans are gearing up for an exciting showdown as John Cena and Logan Paul join forces for a high-profile tag team match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. Scheduled to take place on June 7 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, this new alliance pits them against the formidable duo of Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso, making it one of the most anticipated bouts of the year. Logan Paul pitches catchy names for new WWE duo While John Cena and Logan Paul are new partners inside the squared circle, their chemistry outside the ring is already capturing attention. Ahead of their first match together, Logan Paul took to his YouTube channel to share some humorous behind-the-scenes moments. One highlight was the duo brainstorming potential names for their tag team. Cena initially joked with a rather outrageous suggestion - "The Human Centipede." However, Logan Paul quickly countered with more creative options. The first was 'Heel Team Six,' a clever nod to SEAL Team Six, the elite U.S. military unit known for high-profile missions. Cena loved the name instantly, saying, "I love that." I Assaulted The WWE Cameraman (RIP Stu) Not stopping there, Paul suggested another name - 'The WWE,' emphasizing their status as the two most relevant superstars in the company. Cena played along, mimicking a ring announcer introducing 'The WWE,' and admitted he didn't hate the idea either. Although no official team name has been announced, fans are buzzing over these fun possibilities. What's next for John Cena and Logan Paul? This pairing is especially significant as John Cena embarks on what many believe to be his final year in WWE. The 17-time World Champion is aiming to leave the wrestling world on top, and teaming with Logan Paul, who recently enjoyed a successful heel run and held the United States Championship, could help him achieve this goal. The tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso will be a crucial test of their teamwork and chemistry. Rhodes and Uso have been partners on and off for the past two years and bring valuable experience and skill to the ring. Although Cena and Paul are currently allies, WWE has teased tension between the two on recent SmackDown episodes, hinting at a possible future rivalry. Earlier, rumors circulated about a potential Cena vs. Paul match at WrestleMania 41, but WWE reportedly declined that idea. Meanwhile, WWE fans also watch closely as CM Punk, another top star, plans to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Cena later this year, adding more drama to Cena's farewell tour. As the countdown to Money in the Bank continues, fans eagerly await to see if Cena and Paul will officially unveil their tag team name and how this unique partnership will unfold inside the ring.

Kevin Owens shares honest update on neck injury and WWE comeback chances
Image via WWE WWE superstar Kevin Owens recently shared a candid update on his ongoing neck injury and what lies ahead for his in-ring career. The former Universal Champion has been sidelined since April 2025, leaving fans concerned about his future in WWE. Kevin Owens on navigating recovery and delaying surgery In an exclusive interview with le10Sport, Owens revealed that he has not yet undergone surgery for his neck injury. 'There's no doubt I need surgery,' he said, 'but before we do the surgery, we just have to see how much it can… Not recover, because it won't recover, but slightly improve without surgery.' Owens stressed the importance of patience during this slow healing process. 'You just have to have patience. I don't usually have a lot of patience, but this time I have no choice,' he admitted. This level of vulnerability is rare for the fierce competitor known for his hard-hitting style. Owens first noticed symptoms following a match against Rey Mysterio on the January 17, 2025, episode of SmackDown. The injury worsened after a brutal ladder match at the Royal Rumble, where Cody Rhodes slammed him through a ladder with an Alabama Slam. Kevin Owens unsure about return to WWE When asked about the likelihood of his return to wrestling, Owens was frank. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 80~105만원까지 누구나 받을 수 있는 지원금~! 봉자인터넷 더 알아보기 Undo 'It would be, not arrogant, but false to be able to tell you right now that I will absolutely return to the ring, that I will have other fights. I don't know if that's true,' he said. His honesty leaves fans hopeful yet cautious. Owens' story reflects the harsh reality many WWE superstars face with neck injuries. Big E, another top star, has been out since 2022 due to a broken neck and remains medically unfit to compete. Injuries like these underline the physical risks wrestlers take and how careers can be suddenly altered. Despite the uncertainty, Owens expressed gratitude for his career so far. On social media, he recalled a milestone moment from ten years ago - his clash with John Cena for the WWE United States Championship, which 'changed his life forever.' 'The last 10 years have been so amazing,' Owens wrote, even as he struggles with this injury setback. Fans worldwide admire his resilience and hope to see him back in action one day. For now, Kevin Owens' health and recovery remain the priority. The WWE Universe watches and waits as 'The Prizefighter' navigates this challenging chapter of his wrestling journey.
