Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast.

0:02.0

Along with Justin LaBarre, I'm Jonathan Hood.

And on today's show, we discuss John Cena's legacy in WWE, and who should be his final opponent.

This is the Busted Open Podcast.

Let's start here by talking about his matchup against Logan Paul.

0:18.0

I like Logan Paul's response, by the way, to, in that promo that they had in Montreal,

0:25.3

oh yeah, John Cena, I'd love to face you at Clash the Fair. It's like, oh, man, yeah? He's almost like

0:30.9

giddy the idea that, oh man, in your retirement run, I get a chance to face you. And so I think you and I are on the same page

0:39.1

1:38.4

You know, you know, you, and Cody was a new opponent, frankly, for me.

1:42.2

I'm sure he might have beat Cody in a job match back in 08 or 09.

1:46.5

But frankly, obviously, him versus the American nightmare, that was something new.

1:50.4

But otherwise, him taking on Orton, him taking on Truth, him taking on CM Punk, you know,

1:56.2

him taking on Brock, whenever that's going to happen, which we'll get to at some point here.
