AJ Styles On John Cena Surprising Him At WWE Crown Jewel, Their Pre-Match Goal

The Boston Herald interviewed pro wrestling legend and AJ Styles this week.

While talking with the mainstream media outlet, "The Phenomenal One" discussed his recent WWE Crown Jewel: Perth match with John Cena.

The following are some of the highlights.

On the gesture of Cena surprising him with a special custom ring introduction that made the match about them ending their respective careers, and not just Cena ending his own: "It definitely caught me off guard. When I heard ‘The definition of Total Nonstop Action,’ I thought to myself, ‘Wait a minute.’ He took this from just being about John to making it about John and AJ Styles. It’s something he didn’t have to do, but that’s John. That’s just who he is."

On feeling like he and Cena delivered on their pre-match goal at WWE Crown Jewel: Perth of delivering something special for the fans: "We’ve been doing this for decades, this is what we do. The greatest part is it meant a lot to a lot of people. We wanted to give wrestling fans something special, and I think we accomplished that."
