John Cena vs. AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel: Underwhelming by WWE legends' standards? Veteran thinks so

John Cena and AJ Styles are set to go one-on-one for the final time next week in Australia at the Crown Jewel: Perth Premium Live Event. People all around the world are excited to see the two legends compete against each other one final time. However, pro wrestling veteran Jim Cornette thinks it's not a WrestleMania main event-level contest.

After his heartbreaking loss to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza, fans wondered what was next for Cena in his retirement tour. Following a series of tweets from both Cena and Styles, fans were granted their wish. The Cena vs. Styles match was finally confirmed for the farewell tour, as it was officially announced to take place at Crown Jewel.

On The Experience podcast, pro wrestling analyst Jim Cornette shared his thoughts on the upcoming match. He said it was a good way for the legends to relive their history, but it was not a WrestleMania main event-worthy bout.

"It's a way for them to relive their history (...) John's probably not going to get hurt working with AJ, and at the same time, this is not (...) it's a big show in name only, right? Because they're in Australia and etc., but this isn't like they're giving away a WrestleMania main event." [11:01 - 11:28]

It will be exciting to see John Cena and AJ Styles in the ring together one final time.

John Cena and AJ Styles had one of the best rivalries in WWE nearly a decade ago

AJ Styles made his surprise debut at Royal Rumble 2016 during the Men's Rumble Match. After having some great rivalries with legends like Chris Jericho and Roman Reigns, Styles finally shifted his attention to Cena.

The two had an intense rivalry, which led to their iconic showdown at SummerSlam, where AJ won. In the final match of their trilogy, John Cena defeated The Phenomenal One to secure his 16th world championship at Royal Rumble 2017.

The two are finally set to go one-on-one again after a very long time. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious at Crown Jewel.
