• John Cena Took AEW Star’s Permission To Use His Moves In Logan Paul Match
During his interview on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, John Cena discussed his match against Logan Paul from Clash In Paris. Cena revealed that he called AEW star Claudio Castagnoli (fka Cesaro in WWE) and asked Claudio’s permission to use some of his moves in the match. Here’s what the 17-time World Champion said:
“I do my research on guys. Not only do I dive into their personality, I watch their past matches. I watch what they’re capable of. With Logan, you don’t have many matches to go on. And a lot of stuff that he was doing was viral moments. I’m like, ‘I need something more than that.’
I saw Logan and I’m like, ‘Man, you look and work like Cesaro.’ So I called Claudio. I’m like, ‘Hey, can I borrow some stuff, please?’ He’s like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ He’s part of the coffee group (with me and Seth Rollins). No problem. He’s like, ‘I can’t be there. It’d be an honor.’
So I’m like, ‘Hey, Logan, watch this guy. These are things I think you can do.’ And I would send him modified clips of the Super European, the Giant Swing, all things I thought Cesaro did well that I think Logan could do well.
And by the way, this might help you with your style. Like, get more stuff because take it from Five Moves of Doom, there’s going to come a time where you need more stuff. That’s just the nature of the beast. You’re going to need more stuff, so mess around with this.”

• Former WWE Tag Team Champion Is Training Sting’s Son
A legacy in the making is currently being shaped behind closed doors. Fred Rosser (former WWE Tag Team Champion Darren Young) has revealed that he is personally spearheading the development of Steven Borden, the son of WCW Legend Sting.
Rosser has taken Borden on as a high-stakes personal project, serving as his private coach to help him navigate the transition into the ring. While much of the work happens away from the cameras, the goal is to mold Borden into a complete performer worthy of his family’s massive shadow.
To sharpen his skills, Borden has already begun the transition from training to live performance. He is currently working dark matches before AEW shows to get used to the energy of a live audience.
Here’s what Rosser said on Paltrocast:
“The coaching is pretty full-time. I’m working with Sting’s son Steven Borden, helping to groom him privately and helping him become all that he’s created to be inside of the ring. He’s working hard, doing some dark matches, getting some reps in front of a crowd. That means a lot to me. That’s a personal project that I’m trying to conquer.”
