AJ Styles On John Cena Match At WWE Crown Jewel: We Don’t Need A Story, It Will Kick Ass

AJ Styles is ready to hoop with John Cena.
WWE Crown Jewel will feature one of the more prominent matches of John Cena’s retirement tour, as the ‘Never Seen Seventeen’ will take on AJ Styles in a singles contest.
Just a few days before the match, Styles teamed up with Dragon Lee and Penta to face off against the Judgment Day trio of Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Dominik Mysterio. After the bout, Styles took to the microphone to promote his match with Cena, saying that they don’t need a story.
“Now that I’ve got a second to talk, this match at Crown Jewel between AJ Styles and John Cena — we don’t need a story, it writes itself. You’ve got two men who will dance for the last time and I promise you this, we will leave it all in that ring. It will kick ass.”
"We will leave it all in that ring."
