With John Cena’s retirement tour underway, a marquee match has already been locked in, generating major buzz across the wrestling world. The confirmed clash between Cena and AJ Styles at Crown Jewel has dominated discussion. Now, a new report points to another prominent name being considered for the 17-time World Champion’s final run.
According to BodySlam.net, a potential showdown between Cena and Dominik Mysterio has been discussed internally. Mysterio, who currently holds both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the AAA Mega Championship, is viewed as a high-profile candidate for one of Cena’s last matches.
The report also noted that the newly announced Cena vs. Styles bout had been on WWE’s radar for some time, with Crown Jewel seen as the ideal stage. The confirmation came earlier today following a social media exchange. Citing the WWE Universe, Cena issued the challenge: “@AJStylesOrg are you listening? Better yet @TripleH ….. are YOU listening???” Styles responded: “I hear them loud and clear. Let’s do it, I’m ready!”
Chief Content Officer Triple H then made it official, posting: “@JohnCena vs. @AJStylesOrg is a match we all want to see. And at #WWECrownJewel…we will.”
The bout, scheduled for Saturday, October 11, in Perth, Western Australia, will be the fifth singles encounter between Cena and Styles. With their head-to-head record tied 2–2, Crown Jewel will serve as the tiebreaker.
