#3. John Cena vs. AJ Styles at Crown Jewel 2025
When John Cena announced his farewell tour, every fan wanted AJ Styles to be an integral part of Cena’s retirement run. The Champ and The Phenomenal One had undeniable chemistry together, and it would’ve been rather unreasonable never to revisit their rivalry one last time.
Due to considerable fan demand, WWE finally booked John Cena vs. AJ Styles at Crown Jewel. There was no build for this match as it was announced randomly on social media. Yet, it ended up being arguably the greatest match in Cena’s farewell tour.
Cena vs. Styles at Crown Jewel 2025 can be aptly described as a “love letter to professional wrestling.” We had seen the WWE vs. TNA dynamic play out before, but this time, they took things to a different level. Both rivals paid tribute to fellow stars who had been instrumental in their respective careers.
From Styles hitting Angel’s Wings to Cena executing the Sister Abigail, Styles and Cena dug into the playbook of virtually every prominent WWE wrestler. There was not a single dull moment in their epic encounter, and fans thoroughly enjoyed their last dance.
