The climax of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on May 24 saw an interesting turn of events.
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena interrupted the main event, attempting to cost Jey Uso the World Heavyweight Championship and formally aligning himself with Logan Paul.
Cena and Paul are now set to face Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso at Money in the Bank, raising questions about who else might join their emerging heel alliance.
Here are six potential WWE stars who could align with John Cena and Logan Paul.
6. Rusev
Rusev made his return to WWE on the Raw brand following WrestleMania 41.
He currently lacks a clear direction, though the May 26 edition of Raw hinted at an upcoming bout with Sheamus.
Cena and Logan Paul’s faction needs a bruiser – an enforcer to play the role of backup.
Moving Rusev to Smackdown and aligning him with his former rival Cena would give his WWE return the momentum it needs while giving the group some much-needed muscle.

5. Travis Scott
Rapper Travis Scott appears to be the most likely addition to John Cena and Logan Paul’s new heel alliance.
Scott played a central role in Cena’s heel turn at Elimination Chamber and helped him capture the Undisputed WWE Title at WrestleMania 41.
So far, no storyline explanation has been given for Scott’s involvement or his connection to Cena.
However, with reports suggesting he’s training for an in-ring debut, it appears likely he’ll appear in some form alongside Cena and Paul at Money in the Bank.

4. Andrade
Since returning to WWE last year, Andrade has struggled to find consistent direction on the SmackDown brand.
He’s appeared sporadically, most recently seen attempting to recruit Los Garza into a new alliance.
A world-class in-ring performer with a perfectly honed arrogant persona, Andrade would be a natural fit alongside Logan Paul.
Joining this heel faction could revitalise his stalled run and add an excellent in-ring worker into the group.

3. The Street Profits
Currently reigning as WWE Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits are engaged in an athletic babyface rivalry with Fraxiom.
With an abundance of face teams in the division and the potential of dropping the titles to Fraxiom, a change in direction could be coming.
Aligning with Cena and Logan Paul would give the Street Profits a bigger platform and provide the growing faction with a top-tier tag team.
Could this be the next evolution for The Street Profits – a heel turn that shakes up the division and increases their spotlight?

2. Karrion Kross
Karrion Kross has recently turned to social media in an effort to gain momentum and secure a renewed push in WWE.
Of course, few understand the power of social media better than Logan Paul.
A potential alliance is both ironic and intriguing, given Kross previously criticised Paul and attempted to involve himself in Paul’s WrestleMania match with AJ Styles.
Moving Kross to SmackDown and pairing him with the heel faction would allow tension with Paul to slowly build, leading to a high-profile clash that could finally elevate Kross to the status he’s long pursued within WWE.

1. Ricky Saints
When it comes to ideal fits for John Cena and Logan Paul’s heel faction, few make more sense than current NXT North American Champion Ricky Saints.
With a cocky, arrogant persona tailor-made for association with Paul, his character work is a natural match for the group’s vibe.
Saints’ time in AEW proved he’s a polished performer that can thrive in a big-time spot on television – there’s little need to keep him in WWE’s “developmental” brand.
An immediate call-up to join SmackDown’s top heel faction would establish Saints as a potential breakout star.
