AJ Styles is the current WWE Champion, and he’s set to defend his title against 5 other men in six-pack challenge match at the Fastlane pay-per-view on Sunday. John Cena will be one of the men trying to dethrone Styles on Sunday, and Cena is an opponent that Styles knows well.
The current WWE Champion recently appeared on Busted Open Radio, and he praised John Cena while talking about how well they work together.
“I’m not saying that John is a great athlete, I don’t want to discredit who John is,” Styles said via Wrestling Inc. “He’s not known for his moveset. But his psychology is unbelievable! Like, he gets it on another level. It makes up for things he lacks in his moveset because he’s so unbelievable in that ring. When he and I work together… I say him signing something, and he is a leftie, he uses his left hand. I said, ‘that’s gotta be what it is John, that’s why we work so well together, because you’re a leftie and I’m a rightie and it just works.’ We’re different in every way, but we keep on putting on great matches.”
Monday night John Cena appeared on Raw and declared that he plans to become a 17 time WWE World Champion on Sunday, and that he wants to carry the title to WrestleMania then defend it against Shinsuke Nakamura.
But Shinsuke Nakamura isn’t the only person Cena wants to defend the title against, as he suggested that if he wins the title, AJ Styles should cash in his rematch clause to set up a triple threat match at WrestleMania.
However, Styles wasn’t too fond of that idea because he wants Nakamura all to himself.
“I guess John Cena was on RAW last night saying that he’s going to win [at Fastlane] and I should invoke my rematch clause at WrestleMania so that it can be a three-way between myself, Nakamura and John Cena,” Styles said. “Well I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to lose this match coming up at Fastlane. I want Nakamura all to myself.”
"I don't want a Triple Threat at #Wrestlemania. I want @ShinsukeN all to myself."#WWEChampion @AJStylesOrg told @davidlagreca1& @TheMarkHenry why he loves working with @JohnCena but he's leaving #WWEFastlane with the title.#SDLive pic.twitter.com/WDc7bcT7n3
