AJ Styles Says John Cena’s Written Intro For Him At WWE Crown Jewel Caught Him Off Guard
At WWE Crown Jewel, AJ Styles received a surprise from John Cena, who wrote a custom intro for Styles.
Alicia Taylor belted out the intro, saying, “The definition of Total Nonstop Action. The ace and total boss of the Bullet Club. It is my honor as an opponent to see if he can beat up John Cena one final time. He is the face that runs the place. The Phenomenal AJ Styles!”
Speaking to Justin Barrasso of the Boston Herald, Styles commented, “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.”
In the match, Styles wrote shorts as opposed to pants, a nod to his TNA day.
“For those who remembered that magazine cover, this was for them,” said Styles. “That wasn’t the same gear I wore. I don’t even know where that gear is. I had to get a new set made. Fortunately, my gear-maker researched and made it exactly the way I wore it back in TNA.”
Cena was victorious in the match.
On Monday’s WWE Raw, Styles and Dragon Lee captured the WWE World Tag Team Championships.
