John Cena and AJ Styles had a memorable clash last year in Australia, which Cena has spoken glowingly about, and he has now detailed a magical moment he experienced thanks to the audience.

Cena and Styles pulled out all the stops in their match at Crown Jewel in Australia, landing moves of numerous of their past opponents, much to the delight of the crowd in Perth. Cena, while speaking at Megacon, lauded the crowd for playing a huge part in that magical match.

“I think like what makes moments is all of us. We all make things special, especially when it comes to live entertainment. The atmosphere in Perth was like something I’d never seen. Never seen that many, like, t-shirts. I know for a fact we didn’t give them away, but it’s like we gave them away,” he said. “So the atmosphere I think really swept everybody up and because the audience was smart enough to understand what we were doing as well, like you can do all this cool stuff that you think is cool but if you guys don’t get it, I’m kind of being selfish.” 

Cena said that he sensed a feeling of serendipity during the match, as the crowd was deeply invested and understood what they were trying to achieve.

“So I think we had a moment of like serendipity where you have these two performers — and AJ shared with me that he was going to retire in January — I really think the world of him that wanted to do something special and make it special, and then you had an audience that kind of understood that.”

The retired WWE star said that he seldom rewatches his matches, but he had to watch the match with Styles as it felt special to him, noting how the fans in Australia were calling the spots for him and Styles. 

Wrestlers travel all over the world and even the most seasoned travelers experience jetlag. One way to combat that is by drinking coffee. It seems many wrestlers have become connoisseurs of the caffeinated beverage. Several wrestlers and performers have their own lines or special batches, like Motor City Machine Guns, Danhausen, and Prince Nana.

A power couple is getting in on the coffee business. After teasing the announcement, it finally came out on Monday; Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch announced AMO Coffee. In a video on Instagram, Rollins said, “for the past seven years, we’ve been traveling together, trying different coffees in different countries, different continents, and different cities all over the world. And we’ve fallen in love with coffee and AMO is our way of bringing that love to you.”

Lynch teased some big events in the coming weeks. On AMO’s Instagram, there’s a black and white picture of Rollins and Lynch that has “a simple love for coffee” written in yellow. The caption reads, “From Colby + Rebecca, with love.” A splash page on their website has a countdown clock that would indicate a launch date of April 26. Fans who want early access can enter their email to be notified.

Rollins recently came back from a shoulder injury at Elimination Chamber and has been terrorizing The Vision. Lynch will be challenging for the women’s IC title at WrestleMania.

CM Punk’s controversial comments about Roman Reigns’ father and WWE Hall of Famer Sika have not gone down well with the Anoaʻi family, and it’s not just The Usos who are irate with him, but even their father, Rikishi.

Punk brought up Sika’s name in a promo targeting Reigns, which many perceived as disrespectful, which Rikishi touched upon on his “Off The Top” podcast. 

“You know, I felt that by CM Punk bringing up my uncle’s name was just a disrespectful thing for him to do. I would have thought CM Punk that you’re smart enough to even tap on something like that. If you tried to get up underneath our skin, if you tried to get up underneath the family skin, you got up underneath this one, man, because I had nothing but respect for CM Punk,” said Rikishi. 

The WWE Hall of Famer commended Punk’s contributions to the pro wrestling business, but said it was cheap of him to take a shot at someone who’s not alive, especially someone held in as high regard as Sika. An angry Rikishi concluded by saying he would leave it to Reigns to seek retribution for the family.

“You’ve done a lot in the industry. You’ve been around the world. You’ve been holding that strap there for a minute. You’ve been that good role model. But when you mention a name of a family member that is no longer here, a paramount chief in this family who we all respect and love, and then you want to dig that up. What was it for you to get some heat? Is that what it was? Think you smarter than that? But I want to tell you something, CM Punk. If you done turned something over, that is going to be hard for you to come back from, and I’m going to leave that in the hands of Roman Reigns,” warned Rikishi.

Punk hasn’t backed down or apologized for his comments, doubling down on his hate of Reigns and, in turn, the Anoaʻi family.

Although the card was stacked for AEW Revolution in Los Angeles earlier this month, there were still some multiple names that were unable to compete or be featured at the event due to their ongoing injuries, including one of the company’s biggest powerhouses. 

According to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, former TNT Champion Wardlow was backstage during Revolution. Wardlow was sidelined this past summer when he suffered a torn pectoral muscle immediately after returning from another injury that kept him out of action for a year. At this time, Sapp notes that Wardlow was just visiting at Revolution, and there’s no plans for him to be inserted into AEW’s weekly television anytime soon. Additionally, Fightful is unsure if there’s any creative direction for Wardlow once he’s able to step back inside the ropes, or if he’s even cleared to return.

Wardlow has not competed in a ring since March 2024 due to the two serious injuries he sustained, with his most recent match coming at “AEW Dynamite: Big Business” against Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. That said, Wardlow has turned his attention to reality television during his absence, as he’s featured on American Gladiators this upcoming April and has filmed two seasons of the show already. Before getting hurt again, Wardlow had joined the Don Callis Family after he attacked Swerve Strickland at AEW Forbidden Door last year, but plans for his involvement with the faction were scrapped after his injury was deemed long-term.
