Everyone wants a shot at John Cena as his career comes to a close — Logan Paul is one of the lucky ones.

The YouTuber-turned-WWE star found himself in a brief storyline with Cena, whose final match will take place on Dec. 13, that saw them as friends turned rivals.

Cena criticized Paul on an episode of "Friday Night SmackDown" ahead of their match at Clash in Paris in August.

The never-seen 17-time world champion came out with the win, but Paul said it was "truly an honor" to go toe-to-toe with arguably the greatest of all time.

"I am disappointed that I did not come out victorious. He's really good. I don't know what to say. Like, halfway through the match, I was like, ‘Oh, this is like a different level of wrestler,'" Paul said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "But yeah, I mean, it's John Cena, so I got my match. I'll see if I can try to convince him to come back for one more so I can beat him next time. But although he told me that he's not going to do that, he's not going to do that."

In the interview, it was discussed that Paul could crash the party on Dec. 13, despite the "Last Time is Now" tournament finalists being Gunther and L.A. Knight.

"I'm not above that," Paul admitted.

Cena's final match will take place in Washington, D.C., and President Donald Trump has been known for his love of combat sports. Paul, who attended Trump's inauguration and interviewed Trump on his own podcast last year, did not rule out a possible Trump attendance at Cena's last bout.

"We (people in the WWE) have talked about it. I have no idea. It seems like something that could happen. I think it'd be awesome. But I don't know how political the WWE wants to get, so I'm not sure," Paul said.

Trump is a WWE Hall of Famer in part because of his appearance at WrestleMania 23.

There has been significant speculation that Edge, one of Cena's greatest rivals, could return to WWE for the first time since 2023 to face Cena.

A decomposed body and several explosives were discovered inside a home following an hours-long standoff with a man who had barricaded himself in the residence and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement in Connecticut, according to authorities.

Stamford Police responded to the Oaklawn Avenue home on Tuesday morning after a state marshal called 911 while attempting to carry out a court order to evict the man. 

The man, later identified as 63-year-old Jed Parkington, opened fire at officers several times during the day, damaging police cars and prompting officers to return fire.

No officers were hurt in the exchange of gunfire.

The man was found dead later in the day from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.

Officers were clearing the home after the standoff found a decomposed body on the second floor, Police Chief Timothy Shaw said in a statement. Explosives such as pipe bombs, grenades and Molotov cocktails were also located in the home.

"This was an extremely dangerous incident that tragically resulted in the loss of two lives," Shaw said.

The police chief also lauded the efforts of local, state and federal law enforcement officers and firefighters, including hostage negotiators who attempted to talk to the man for several hours.

The Stamford Police bomb squad responded to the home to safely remove the explosives before detectives could begin investigating the remainder of the residence.

Authorities said the identity and cause of death of the decomposed person was still under investigation.

The state inspector general's office is investigating the officers' use of deadly force during the standoff.

A bank had foreclosed on the home and demanded the residents vacate the property in April since the mortgage was not being paid, court records show. A judge ordered the eviction last month after offering the chance for the residents to make mortgage payments.
