Regardless of the outcome, this should be a highly anticipated match between two elite performers. The “You can’t wrestle” chants directed at John Cena are so unfounded that it’s not even funny. It’s just stupid.

Cena and AJ Styles tore down the house at SummerSlam, with Cena putting Styles over strongly and then stepping aside to let him have a run as the face of SmackDown. It’s helped turn AJ into a major player in WWE in just one short year.

Now, it all comes full circle, with the Phenomenal One defending the WWE World Championship against Cena. Will this match live up to their MOTY candidate from SummerSlam? And how will things shake out? Can AJ emerge victorious again and head to Mania as the champ? Or are we setting things up for Cena to head into the big event with the title?
