AJ Styles Makes Bold Claim On WWE RAW Ahead Of John Cena Match

AJ Styles has addressed his upcoming match with John Cena on WWE RAW.

Earlier this month, the Leader of the Cenation suffered an embarrassing defeat against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. After the show, the 48-year-old took to X to request that WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H and AJ Styles listen to the fans and give them one final match between him and The Phenomenal One.

After Styles accepted Cena’s challenge on X, Triple H made the official announcement that the two WWE legends will square off at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia.

While the 17-time world champion has no scheduled appearances until Crown Jewel, Styles addressed the highly anticipated match on tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

I got a match too at Crown Jewel. Well, thanks to you guys [the fans], I have a match at Crown Jewel against John Cena. So, I wanna take a moment to say thank you, I get to do something that I love. I get to beat up John Cena.

"I GET TO BEAT UP JOHN CENA!" 😂

Why WWE Legend Bully Ray Isn’t Blown Away By AJ Styles vs. John Cena?

On a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray addressed the upcoming clash between AJ Styles and John Cena at Crown Jewel.

The wrestling legend revealed that he was not “blown away” by the match, stating that it would be a babyface vs. babyface fight with no meaningful storyline.

I think it’s cool. I’m not blown away by it.

Um, it’s two good guys who are going to have a wrestling match.
