After John Cena suffered a devastating loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza this past weekend, many fans have questioned who the 17-time World Champion’s next opponent will be, as he only has five dates left remaining on his retirement tour. However, in a surprising announcement, WWE CCO Triple H took to social media to reveal that Cena will be renewing his rivalry with AJ Styles next month at Crown Jewel. Better yet @TripleH ….. are YOU listening???#CenaVsStyles https://t.co/BNspbeUxXd

Styles was quick to respond to Cena, who was very on board with the idea of fighting the “The Last Real Champion” for the first time in seven years. 

“I hear them loud and clear. Let’s do it, I’m ready!”

Cena and Styles’ trilogy of matches a decade ago is often considered one of the best WWE feuds of the 2010s, with “The Phenomenal One” arguably giving Cena the most memorable matches of the latter half of his career. Their first two singles matches together occurred in 2016 at Money In The Bank and SummerSlam, where Styles would score two consecutive victories. However, Cena would ultimately get the last laugh at the 2017 Royal Rumble, when he defeated Styles for the WWE Championship.
