The Phenomenal One responded by accepting the challenge, and the match will take place at Crown Jewel in Australia on October 11. There is genuine excitement among fans for this marquee match, but a wrestling veteran is confused.

Scott D'Amore, who is known for his time in TNA in various roles, talked about WWE booking the match in his column, The D'Amore Drop, on Uncrowned.

"I love AJ Styles personally and, professionally, I will always say the guy walks on water. I just don’t see why John Cena vs. Styles — especially in a match set up by a tweet — is what anyone wants for one of Cena’s final-ever matches," he wrote.

Notably, at Clash in Paris, Cena hit a Styles Clash, paying tribute to his rival, while noting afterward that he might not get to wrestle the former Bullet Club leader as part of his retirement tour. While WWE has made the match official now, D'Amore is baffled by the timing.

"It will be a fine match, no question. But … why now?," he added. [H/T Uncrowned]

The match between Styles and Cena will be their fourth clash in WWE, with the former TNA World Champion holding a 2-1 record in his favor.
