It looks like we’re getting closer to AJ Styles being confirmed as one of John Cena’s final opponents.

On Monday night, Cena sent out a tweet teasing that he could face AJ Styles one more time. Cena then followed that up this morning with another post advocating for the match. Specifically, he asked Paul “Triple H” Levesque if he’s listening to what the fans are asking for.

I do not choose my opponents, but I (even through tough times) ALWAYS listen to the fans.@AJStylesOrg are you listening?
Better yet @TripleH ….. are YOU listening???#CenaVsStyles

“I do not choose my opponents, but I (even through tough times) ALWAYS listen to the fans,” Cena wrote. “@AJStylesOrg are you listening? Better yet @TripleH….. are YOU listening???”

Given that Cena does not have any WWE appearances on his schedule before Crown Jewel: Perth, these tweets could be WWE’s way of setting up his plans for that show. The PLE is taking place at RAC Arena in Perth, Western Australia on October 11.

Including Crown Jewel, Cena has five WWE dates left on his retirement tour:

• Saturday, October 11: WWE Crown Jewel: Perth (Perth, Australia)
• Monday: November 10: WWE Raw (Boston, Massachusetts)
• Monday, November 17: WWE Raw (New York City, New York)
• Saturday, November 29: WWE Survivor Series (San Diego, California)
• Saturday, December 13:  WWE Saturday Nightâ€s Main Event (reportedly Washington, D.C.)

Styles is considered one of Cena’s best-ever opponents, with the two having had a classic series of matches in 2016-2018. During his retirement tour, there have been occasions where Cena has paid homage to some of his past opponents including Styles.

Cena is coming off a loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. Despite speculation, WWE is reportedly not planning for there to be another Cena vs. Lesnar match before Cena retires.
