Logan Paul has claimed he ‘predicted’ John Cena’s shocking WWE heel turn.
The 16-time world champion, who was an untouchable babyface for more than two decades, attacked Cody Rhodes and aligned himself with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson at Elimination Chamber.
He is now set to challenge for a record 17th world title at WrestleMania 41 as the bad guy.
Cena‘s heel turn stunned the professional wrestling world – but there was at least one man who apparently saw it coming.
Paul was also competing at Elimination Chamber himself last weekend, and went to war with Cena and four others inside the brutal WWE structure.
While he was eliminated from the match by CM Punk, and left the ring before the shocking heel turn segment closed the show, he claims to have predicted it a number of weeks ago.
“What a crazy heel turn man, just when you think you know a guy,” Paul began in his latest vlog, titled: ‘I was right about John Cena’.
“I actually predicted this, and people are roasting me for it.
“Look back a few vlogs ago, the thumbnail, what is it? ‘John Cena betrayed me’ – thumbnail, pointing to him, it says ‘Snake’.
“I didn’t know he was going to turn on Cody, but I read the writing on the wall. And guess what, I was f***ing right.
“It’s going to be so good. I love Cena heel. Being a heel is sick. Being a good guy isn’t realistic.
“We couldn’t see John Cena for 25 years, but now John, we see you brother.”
The vlog that Paul is referencing was posted last month, after he appeared at the Royal Rumble.
He was eliminated by Cena in the namesake match, a moment that left Paul’s mother, Pam Stepnick, visibly stunned as she watched from the front row.
“Okay, I’m not gonna like this,” she said, as the spot was set up.
Stepnick’s jaw then dropped as she recorded the moment her son was knocked over the top rope.
Jey Uso eventually went on to win the rumble and punch his ticket to WrestleMania, but after the match, Paul focused his frustrations on Cena.
“I feel a little bit betrayed by John Cena, if I’m honest,” he said backstage, after the elimination.
“I’ve looked up to him my whole life, and he just tossed me out of the ring like I’m trash.”
While Cena eliminating Paul from the Royal Rumble was certainly not a ‘heel’ move, the pair have been working closely in recent weeks.
And while Paul didn’t exactly call Cena turning on Rhodes, it’s perhaps not surprising that he was expecting something like that to happen.
