John Cena and AJ Styles put on a classic at Crown Jewel and both paid tribute to many Superstars who they crossed paths with over the years.
Cena has been doing these tribute finishers to pay homage to those who he cannot wrestle again and in this match he did a total of six which drove the crowd crazy a couple of times.
Cena first hit the Skull Crushing Finale in honor of The Miz and then did the Accolade by Rusev, which sparked a Rusev Day chant. He then did the Walls of Jericho to a big pop from the crowd and Y2J chants before hitting a picture-perfect Sister Abigail. The crowd inside the RAC Arena quickly turned on their flashlights on their cell phones and created a beautiful firefly tribute to Bray Wyatt.
But Cena was not finished, he hit a middle rope DDT and then an RKO from Randy Orton and fans then started chanting for a 619. Wade Barrett chuckled and said he’d love to see it but doubts it’s physically possible for Cena to pull off. Cena, feeding off the crowd, did tease it but was cut off by AJ Styles, who received the only boos in the match.
Cena had one final tribute, first a chokeslam and then a Tombstone Piledriver from The Undertaker before he pinned AJ with the AA.
Styles also did moves in honor of his opponents, including the Coquina Clutch from Samoa Joe, Angel Wings from Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian’s Fade To Black piledriver, and the Sweet Chin Music from Shawn Michaels.
AJ confirmed yesterday that 2026 will be his final year as an in-ring competitor.
