John Cena vs AJ Styles from the Crown Jewel event is not only considered one of the best matches of this year, but one of the most entertaining matches in the history of professional wrestling. This was the force and final encounter between these two legendary professional wrestlers, and this match was booked without any context.
The fans definitely expected a great match since both of them are two of the best in the business, but what they did in this match amazed everyone who watched it. The match mostly became popular because of the unpredictability during it, as both AJ Styles and John Cena kept using moves of other big wrestlers in their own styles.

This is where the match will be really special, and nobody could take their eyes off this match. But did they ever go off script during this match? John Cena recently remembered this legendary match and discussed actually going offscript. Recently, the retired professional wrestler spoke with Chris Van Vliet, where he revealed the following;
“I just wanted to do something nice for my guy. I didn’t even show Alicia until I handed her the paper. You don’t get those moments unless you get the **** beat up. I wanted to do something special; I went about it the wrong way.

"I went into business for myself, I should have gotten permission to do that, and I would have gotten permission to do that. But I told no one about it, because I wanted to do something special, and in doing so, the people running the show felt surprised, and that’s not a position I ever want to put them in because they award me such creative liberty.”
“We’re all trying to make these moments special, and we’re all on the same team, and it shouldn’t be me doing something outside that realm. If I tell my teammates, hey, let’s do it. I can keep it from AJ, I can keep it from Alicia, but if I tell my teammates who are crafting this show, maybe they make it look better.

“The first thing I did was thank AJ, the second thing I did was pull a few creative individuals aside and say, ‘I’m sorry. That will never happen again. I know where I ***** up. I’m so sorry, and I went into business for myself. That’s not me. I hope you look at my body of work, and all the times I’ve asked for permission, and this is the one time I ask for forgiveness.’ It got the best of me, but I wanted to do something nice for AJ.”
John Cena continued his retirement tour until last Saturday, where he worked with The Ring General Gunther in a losing effort. It was indeed an excellent match, but a large number of fans believe that his match with AJ Styles should have been his retirement match. It may not have been his farewell match, but it will always be remembered as one of the best matches in the history of WWE.
