John Cena recently hinted at a potential opponent for his upcoming matches as part of his retirement tour, highlighting AJ Styles as a dream encounter many WWE fans have hoped for. The veteran wrestler made this suggestion on social media, inviting the WWE Universe to share their opinions about such a showdown.
The 48-year-old superstar recently appeared at Wrestlepalooza, where he faced Brock Lesnar in an intense opening bout. Although Cena has only five appearances left in his farewell run, he has already broken the record for the most World Championship titles and revisited some of his most famed rivalries, including that with Lesnar. Unfortunately for Cena, Lesnar secured a decisive victory in just eight minutes and fifty seconds.
Despite this setback, Cena remains focused on what lies ahead and appears eager to close his career on a high note rather than dwelling on recent losses. His history with AJ Styles is marked by memorable, highly competitive matches between 2016 and 2018, often praised for their athleticism and storytelling. Styles himself is approaching the latter stages of his career, admitting that wrestling past 50 is unlikely for him.
