With only limited dates left in John Cena's retirement tour, fans were clamouring to see him go head-to-head with AJ Styles one last time. The match was built over social media, with both wrestlers interested in facing each other once again, and Triple H made the match official for Crown Jewel.

With only a few hours remaining between their final singles clash, John Cena posted a message on his Twitter [X] account regarding the match. He posted the message along with a photo of the January 2006 edition of Pro Wrestling Illustrated, which featured both him and Styles on the cover in the early parts of their professional wrestling career.

Former World Champion AJ Styles to follow John Cena into retirement

WWE held its Crown Jewel Kickoff just hours before Friday Night SmackDown this week. The event featured many prominent stars, including AJ Styles, who is set to face John Cena at the event in Australia. Styles had been hinting at retirement for a long time in his recent interviews, and he confirmed his decision at the show.

Styles announced that he would retire from in-ring competition in 2026, following his iconic rival into retirement. This would see two of the company's biggest stars retiring in back-to-back years after giving over two decades to the professional wrestling industry.
