John Cena Breaks Silence After Final WWE Match Announcement

John Cena’s next opponent was recently revealed by Triple H.

The 17-time World Champion had taken to X to ask the WWE Universe for its opinion about seeing him in a match against old rival AJ Styles.

He subsequently tagged WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H and AJ Styles in another tweet, urging the boss to set up the match.

It was then confirmed that Cena and Styles would face each other at Crown Jewel in Perth, Australia, on October 11.

John Cena vs. AJ Styles is a rivalry marked by respect, with their first match taking place at the 2016 Money in the Bank.

Cena also defeated Styles to win his record-equaling 16th World Championship at the 2017 Royal Rumble. The match is also considered one of the best in the company’s history.

Fans worldwide will be expecting another spectacle, with the “Never Seen 17” set to retire from professional wrestling in December and “The Phenomenal One” expressing his desire to leave the business next year.
