BREAKING: John Cena vs. AJ Styles officially announced!

John Cena will indeed cross paths with AJ Styles during his retirement tour. The two men are set to cross paths at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event.

Cena and Styles have crossed paths on a few occasions since The Phenomenal One debuted in 2016. They even had an epic encounter for the WWE Championship at the 2017 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event, where The Cenation Leader won his 16th World Title.
