The Miz: I Would Love To Have One More Match With John Cena, The Fans Could Demand It

John Cena only has five more WWE appearances left, and one of those appearances will be at WWE Crown Jewel against AJ Styles.

Appearing on Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez, The Miz reacted to the news of Styles vs. Cena.

“I was happy for AJ Styles but very angry that it’s AJ Styles vs. John Cena, and not John Cena vs. The Miz, and the fans aren’t going like, ‘We want Miz vs. John Cena. He beat the guy in the main event of WrestleMania for the WWE Championship.’ One of the only people to ever do something like that, and I can’t get a match with John Cena? He has five dates left. It’s not AJ Styles or CM Punk, it’s the WWE universe asking for what they want, and they’re giving it to them. They put it on Twitter. ‘I want AJ Styles.’ AJ replies, Triple H goes, ‘You guys want it?’ It got enough steam. ‘Let’s go. The audience wants it. It’s happening.’

“You know what the audience could do? The audience could say, ‘We want The Miz vs. John Cena’ and I would love to have one more match. I’ve been talking about this since the retirement tour started. I was the first person to go, ‘Sign me up.’ I put my name in the hat. When is my name going to get called? Maybe not ever because there are only five left. Five more dates. Every time I see John Cena backstage, ‘Five more. Four more. Three more.’ That’s all we got. I have the rich history with John Cena. I do. I’ve been there from the beginning, and I don’t get a match? Yeah, I’m pretty upset. That’s my heart talking. My brain and my wisdom. You know what else is upsetting? The youth will not get to experience a John Cena match and won’t get to be in the ring with him. That’s the gut-wrenching part for me. Selfishly, I want the match. Five dates left. I don’t know who is getting the match.”

The Miz defeated Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 27. They last wrestled in a televised singles match in 2018.
