WWE Fans Lash Out After Wrestlepalooza as Cena Confirms AJ Styles Showdown

by

WWE is receiving criticism after Wrestlepalooza, where Brock Lesnar unexpectedly defeated John Cena in a brutal match.

A lot of fans expressed their disappointment online, saying the decision didn’t show proper respect for Cena’s final appearances.

This criticism arrives at a time when WWE is already facing complaints about increased prices and the debated decision to hold WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia.

Cena Responds to the Fans

Cena took to social media to make his stance clear.

In a recent tweet, John Cena explained he doesn’t pick who he wrestles, but always pays attention to what fans want. He specifically asked AJ Styles and Triple H if they were hearing him, and hinted at a potential match between himself and Styles with the hashtag #CenaVsStyles.

In a follow-up post, Cena thanked fans and credited them for making his next match possible:

Cena expressed his gratitude to Triple H for being accommodating and acknowledged the fans as the real reason for the match between him and AJ Styles. He highlighted the impressive viewership numbers – over 10 million views on two posts – and thanked everyone for making their voices heard. Cena promised to give his all in his match against AJ Styles at WWE Crown Jewel in Perth, emphasizing that listening to the audience is always the best strategy and expressing his thanks for their choice of his next opponent. He ended with an enthusiastic ‘Let’s Go!’

Contrast With Triple H’s Comments

These tweets are quite different from what Paul Levesque, known as Triple H, said after SummerSlam. Back then, as WWE’s head of creative, he emphasized that John Cena’s last series of matches would be about letting the veteran wrestler decide what he wanted to do.

As a fan, it feels like John Cena knows he doesn’t have forever in the ring. He’s had so many amazing matches and moments, and I get the sense he wants to make the most of what’s left. To me, everything he’s doing now feels like he’s carefully choosing how he wants to finish his career – like he’s writing the final chapter of his story and making sure he gets to end things on his own terms. It’s all about him going out exactly how *he* wants to be remembered.

With John Cena publicly suggesting fans will determine the outcome, people are now wondering if WWE is genuinely respecting his preference, or if they’re changing course to prevent more negative reactions.

Cena vs Styles at Crown Jewel

It’s official: John Cena will face AJ Styles at WWE’s Crown Jewel event in Perth. These two have a long-standing rivalry that goes back almost ten years, and this new match could temporarily ease some fan frustrations.

With Brock Lesnar’s potential interference still a threat, it’s unclear what challenges lie ahead for John Cena as he finishes his wrestling career.
