AJ Styles signed with WWE back in 2016. It never looked like WWE signed him to build him as a potential main event star at first. But with his popularity was increasing day by day, WWE could not resist to push him on to the main event level. On the same year he was given a huge push over none other than the mighty John Cena and this push made him a main event star.
AJ Styles Discusses His Chemistry With John Cena
Their first encounter took place at the Money in the Bank pay per view event of 2016 where Styles shocked the world when he defeated John Cena. Even though it was not a clean win. On the very next pay per view event which was SummerSlam, the duo had a rematch where Styles defeated Cena once again and this time it was a clean win. This not only shocked the entire world but a new main event star was built.
Tiles won the WWE World Championship on the very next pay per view event Backlash where he defeated Dean Ambrose. At the Royal Rumble pay per view event of 2017, Styles was challenged by John Cena for the title, this time he lost. At the Elimination Chamber pay per view event, Styles eliminated Cena inside the chamber. The duo did not get to face each other after that, but these encounters will always be remembered.
AJ Styles who is also a former three times WWE United States champion recently spoke to the Stacking Pennies podcast where he talked about his Chemistry with WWE legend John Cena. He also discussed his plans after the end of his professional wrestling career. He said;
“There was something about John Cena and I, we just meshed well. We’re completely the opposite, 100 percent but I guess opposites attract and we were able to do — I never had a bad match with him. Not one. So, Cena is definitely up there on the list but I could name a few others that would be up there as well.
“So, a guy who had been wrestling forever and still to this day wrestles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, those guys I’ve known forever. It’s hard to pick which one of those matches that I would do again because they were all so good, you know?
“Who’s to know what that is? [Styles said about life after wrestling] And how we’ll deal with it. Being on the road as much as we are and then we’re at home, then what? What do you do? Do you have a hobby that you do that can, I don’t know, can take up — I don’t know.”
