Big E: John Cena vs AJ Styles At Crown Jewel Perth Felt Like A Love Letter To Pro Wrestling

Big E has praise for AJ Styles following Monday Night RAW.

AJ Styles has had a roller-coaster ride of the past few weeks, facing off with John Cena at WWE Crown Jewel Perth, before heading to Japan for what may be his final time wrestling in the country prior to his retirement and finally on the October 20th edition of WWE Monday Night RAW, Styles along with Dragon Lee would capture the WWE World Tag Team Championships.

While speaking to the RAW Recap podcast in a new interview, Big E spoke about AJ Styles and his past few weeks traveling the world with WWE.

“I’m someone who I’ve long clamored for Dragon Lee to get more opportunities, and I love this impromptu tag team of AJ and Dragon Lee and this match, all four men really just did a phenomenal job, incredible match. It was exciting. The crowd in Sacramento was really, really fortunate to watch an amazing match. But I agree with you, man. I love that we got to talk to AJ too, because many times this last year or so, I thought we were just seeing an AJ Styles who was kind of quietly going about his business, not in very big matches, but still had it. I’m so happy for AJ that he’s getting to go out in a way that he deserves, to have again, like you said, the match of the year. That match with Cena, chef’s kiss, just was really, it felt like a love letter to wrestling, to so many of the greatest rivalries we’ve seen over the last 10 to 15 years, really beautiful and to see AJ carry that momentum, and then just to see the pictures and videos from those guys on tour in Japan. AJ, who really got to cut his teeth for so long in Tokyo, in Japan, to get to go back and then come over, back over to the States, and win tag team championships with the incredibly talented Dragon Lee, putting on a five star match. As someone- as you said, as someone who loves tag team wrestling, who spent so much of his career involved in tag team wrestling. All four of those men should take a bow because that match was incredible and we have new tag team champions.
