John Cena Would Like To See AJ Styles Keep His Word On Retirement, Says If A Chance To Wrestle His Son Comes Up, He Should Take It

John Cena notes that while he’d like AJ Styles to keep his word on retirement, he thinks that if a chance comes up to wrestle his son, he should do so.

Cena and Styles have been interconnected for several years now, with the pair both retiring from the sport within around a month of one another. Now, John Cena has discussed Styles potentially coming out of the retirement.

While speaking to TMZ on the red carpet of the WWE Hall Of Fame this year, John Cena was asked if he believes AJ Styles would stay retired.

“So, I’m one of those folks who will be the first wrestler to actually retire, and I hope I set the trend and he’s the second. I think it’s very important that we respect our audience and when they invest in us to see us for the last time. I think that that has weight and importance. AJ’s path was a little different than mine. I know his son is also in the business. So as much as selfishly I want to say like, you’re retired, stay retired. If he has a chance to wrestle with his son, he should take it, and I think the audience would want to see that. But hopefully, he wouldn’t say that if he didn’t feel it was time to stop.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Cena spoke about Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar’s upcoming bout. You can read more about that here.
