Even After Executing Extraordinary Moves at 46, John Cena’s 7 YO SummerSlam Opponent Has Hinted the End of the Road

Unsurprisingly, every wrestler will have a day when they hang up their wrestling boots. Despite being the best in the ring, every wrestler knows their body can’t take the bumps and bruises for very long. This is what one of the most phenomenal wrestlers had to say who faced John Cena 7 years ago at SummerSlam.

Every wrestler can tell when they are reaching the end of the road; many even know when they would like to call quits on their career. But what about someone who has been doing this for 25 years?

AJ Styles says he can not wrestle till he’s 60

The love and respect wrestlers get for the things they do is unbelievable. We see it as entertainment, but the bumps they take are quite real. Most people must remember this when discussing a wrestler’s career and longevity. Last Friday’s SmackDown saw AJ Styles nailing a springboard 450 splash on Karrion Kross for the win.

This prompted many to use social media to praise his athletic performance at 46. However, one social media post by the Twitter handle, ‘Wrestle Buddy’ caught the attention of Styles. They wrote, “Unbelievable sight! AJ Styles nailing a 450 Splash at 46.” They went on to talk about how it looked like child’s play for the veteran and how he could keep doing it till he was 60.

However, this prompted Styles to comment on the post, “This is completely false. AJ Styles could not wrestle till he was 60.” This comment by Styles hints that he will not be doing this for as long as people expect. A fellow OC stablemate ‘Michin’ Mia Yim, tried to get involved claiming that Styles could do it till 60. However, Styles shut her down as well.

Styles and his multiple bouts with John Cena

Since Styles joined the WWE, fans have wanted to see the clash of titans, Styles vs Cena. At 2016’s Money in the Bank, Styles effortlessly pushed Big Match John to the breaking point. After a hard-hitting match, Cena looked like he was going home with the win. However, one Magic Killer by Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows later, and Cena had his first loss against the Phenomenal One. 

This followed with a rematch at SummerSlam of the same year. Cena made Styles look like an absolute workhorse in the ring. One Phenomenal Forearm later, Styles picked up his second win on Super Cena.

The most iconic Styles vs. Cena match occurred at 2017’s Royal Rumble. While Cena was trying to equal Ric Flair’s World Championship title wins, Styles was trying to stop him. The match was filled with significant moves, including Cena hitting Styles with an AA off the top rope. However, Styles was not an easy opponent. Despite kicking out multiple times, Styles was down for the count after two AAs.
