Former WWE Champion AJ Styles recently sat down with Chris Van Vliet on “INSIGHT.” During the interview, the topic of potential future opponents came up, specifically a possible match with John Cena.
Styles expressed enthusiasm for the idea, saying, “I don’t know. I don’t make those decisions. I would love to have it, for sure, it’d be fun.” He reflected on their past chemistry in the ring: “Honestly, I think that there’s something about, I can’t explain it, why him and I gel so well together. I don’t know what it is, because we’re definitely not the same in any kind of way. It just works.” Styles recalled his first experience working with Cena: “The first time I got in the ring with him it was like, Wow, dude, that was cool.” He concluded by reiterating his interest: “So, yeah, I would love the opportunity to work with Cena again.”
The conversation then shifted to Styles’ long-term career plans. On the subject of wrestling into his 50s, Styles was definitive: “That’s correct. I keep saying that. I’ve said this and said this, but I will not wrestle at 50, I promise you that.” He made it clear that this is a firm commitment.
