AJ Styles is ready to run it back with John Cena—one final time. WWE fans are set to witness a dream match as The Phenomenal One battles The Face That Runs The Place at Crown Jewel in Australia on Saturday, October 11. The match was recently confirmed by Paul “Triple H” Levesque after a viral push on social media started by Cena himself.
In a new interview with Japan’s ABEMA, Styles broke his silence on the announcement and said he didn’t see it coming—but he’s all in.
“I am certainly happy for the opportunity to wrestle John Cena on his retirement tour. I did not think this was going to happen, it honestly just came out of nowhere, but I accept it, I want it, and me and John are going to have one last match and it’s going to be incredible.”
Their rivalry is the stuff of modern wrestling legend. Between 2016 and 2017, AJ Styles and John Cena lit up the WWE Universe with an unforgettable trilogy that included instant classics at SummerSlam and Royal Rumble. Now, over seven years since their last singles encounter, the two are poised to create magic once again—this time, with Cena’s farewell looming.
Will AJ Styles spoil Cena’s goodbye, or will the 16-time world champ go out with one last win over The Phenomenal One?
