Fans will get to see John Cena vs. AJ Styles one more time before Cena retires.
WWE has confirmed that Cena vs. Styles will take place at Crown Jewel: Perth on October 11. It’s the last time Cena will ever compete in Australia, with him only having a handful of dates left before his retirement tour concludes in December.
The match was announced by Paul “Triple H” Levesque on X/Twitter today after being set up by Cena. With Cena not having any TV appearances before Crown Jewel, the build for the match was done on social media with Cena lobbying for Levesque to give fans what they want. After Styles accepted his challenge, it was made official for Crown Jewel.

“@JohnCena vs. @AJStylesOrg is a match we all want to see,” Levesque wrote. “And at #WWECrownJewel…we will.”
Styles has been the opponent for some of Cena’s best-ever matches, including their meetings at SummerSlam 2016 and Royal Rumble 2018. They have not had a one-on-one match since 2018.
Cena is coming off a loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza where Lesnar won in dominant fashion.
Crown Jewel: Perth has a special start time of 8 a.m. Eastern time on October 11. It will stream live on the ESPN app in the United States and on Netflix internationally.
