Cena vs. Styles: A Tribute to Wrestling
The match between John Cena and AJ Styles could be remembered as the best of Cena’s “retirement” stage. The match began with a special introduction by Cena, which included references to Total Nonstop Action wrestling and the Bullet Club. The audience reacted with enthusiasm, chanting “Holy s—” and “This is awesome” even before the fight began.
The match was a constant homage to the past of both wrestlers. Cena executed iconic moves like the Skull Crushing Finale (The Miz), the Accolade (Rusev), and even the Walls of Jericho (Chris Jericho). Styles, for his part, wore his TNA attire. The combination of both wrestlers generated memorable moments, such as a DDT with Styles’ feet on the ropes, an RKO, and almost a 619 and Sweet Chin Music from Styles. The biggest ovation was for Cena when he executed a Sister Abigail, culminating in a kiss on the forehead, accompanied by the flashlights of the audience’s phones.
Cena achieved victory after a Tombstone followed by an Attitude Adjustment, a perfect ending to a match that was a true love letter to professional wrestling.
Rhodes and Rollins: The Future of WWE
In the same event, the match between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins took place, a display of the present and future of the industry. Rollins prevailed over Rhodes, using the Rolex watch that Rhodes had previously given him, and finishing with a Stomp from the top rope. With this victory, Rollins conquered the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship.
This triumph could be the beginning of a new stage for Rollins, who, according to rumors, could be reaching his maximum potential.
Reigns and The Usos, a meeting with surprises
The Australian street rules match included cricket bats, rugby balls, and a lot of action throughout the venue. Roman Reigns initially dominated, seeking revenge against Bronson Reed, but the situation changed. Bron Breakker intervened to help Reed, and The Usos tried to support Reigns, but Jey Uso accidentally slammed Reigns through a table, leading to Reed’s victory.
Reed joins Cody Rhodes as the only wrestlers to defeat Reigns in recent years. In addition, Reed achieved victory in his home country, a rare feat in WWE. At the end of the match, Reigns told The Usos that he didn’t want to see them until Christmas.
Vaquer is crowned champion
In the match for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, Stephanie Vaquer defeated Tiffany Stratton, winning the title and ending Stratton’s undefeated streak. The audience, who was involved throughout the night, chanted “La Primera/Tiffy Time”.
Australian wrestlers shone in Perth. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky defeated the Kabuki Warriors, with the public showing their support for Ripley. Bronson Reed achieved a historic victory. Grayson Waller was seen celebrating throughout the week. Possibly, the best presentation of local talent in WWE history.
