John Cena’s WWE Clash in Paris opponent has been revealed on SmackDown.

The Last Real Champion opened tonight’s episode of SmackDown to address Brock Lesnar’s attack on him at SummerSlam. The former Undisputed WWE Champion was taken out with a devastating F-5 by the returning Beast Incarnate last Sunday after losing the title to Cody Rhodes.

Although the 48-year-old admitted being afraid of Lesnar, he made it clear he was not backing down from a challenge. Hence, he sent The Beast Incarnate and the whole WWE locker room a chilling message, challenging anyone in the back to step up to him.

The former United States Champion demanded a match against The Last Real Champion, challenging him to a square-off at Clash in Paris. Logan Paul claimed the fight would be a box office attraction.

Cena was then attacked by Drew McIntyre before Cody Rhodes rushed to his rescue. As The Leader of the Cenation stood side-by-side with his former rival, he accepted Paul’s challenge for Clash in Paris. The match would be the first one-on-one square-off between the two superstars.

Meanwhile, Cena told Paul that he would team up with The American Nightmare to fight him and The Scottish Warrior tonight on the blue brand.
