WWE Clash in Paris 2025: John Cena poses with fan and says 'We're back' after win over Logan Paul

It set the stage for a clash that fans have been waiting for in a much-discussed match at Clash in Paris at WWE on August 31, 2025, between John Cena and Logan Paul, right up until the end. This event was especially poignant given the rarity of seeing Cena in Europe as he starts to phase out of in-ring competition, held at the Paris La Défense Arena.The arena was filled with wrestling fans, signs in hand and voices loud, which set the stage perfectly for an event of this caliber. Cena has been a 16-time world champion and one of the biggest names in WWE history, and he came back to the European scene the same way he has for the past couple of decades, full of charisma and enthusiasm.

John Cena’s victory over Logan Paul

It was a hard-hitting affair, and probably the best advertisement for the athleticism and showmanship of the business that a promotion could ever ask for.

That Logan Paul, who danced through the ropes with his energy, unorthodox style, high spots, and numerous viral moments, immediately infused a new level of intensity and style into the match, answering high spots with more high-flying maneuvers that led the audience to constantly be on their feet and their roar echoing one after the next.

Drawing on his vast experience and signature moves, Cena countered with precise strikes and his signature Attitude Adjustment.

It was the kind of contest that had fans on the edge of their seats, with the momentum switching hands a number of times between the two contenders. The climactic moment saw Cena having to flip the battle around, and his series of moves to win proved why he still is one of the legends in pro wrestling. Cena was described as finally bringing that truly nostalgic yet electric performance those commentators had spoken of earlier in the match by adjusting to Paul’s in-ring unpredictability.

Post-match celebration and fan interaction

After his victory, which was by no means easy, Cena celebrated with the people he had ridden the ups and downs of the pro wrestling business with, the WWE Universe. In fact, he was sweet enough to pose for photos with a lucky fan, smiling and pumping his hand in a victory pose, saying, "We back!" with one little one whom he had insulted back earlier in the year in Belgium. This gesture drew a huge reaction from the crowd, many of whom were seeing Cena live in France for the first time.

Photos of the interaction made rounds on social media almost immediately, solidifying the moment as one of the highlights of the night. Fans complimented Cena's radiance and sportsmanship, admitting that his willingness to interact with the crowd added a personal touch that left an indelible mark on their experience in Toronto.Also Read: Rhea Ripley gets mobbed on the streets before Clash in Paris - Sends out warning to fans!
