Cena and Styles began their story at WWE’s PLEs at Money in the Bank in 2016, a match that Styles won. They have faced each other individually at three PLE events: Money in the Bank (2016), SummerSlam (2016), and Royal Rumble (2017).

Cena has only fought once at Crown Jewel (2023), when he was defeated by Solo Sikoa by pinfall.
Styles has a 2-2 record at Crown Jewel. His two victories occurred at the first two Crown Jewels. In 2018, he defeated Samoa Joe to retain the WWE Championship, and in 2019, he retained the United States Championship against Humberto Carrillo.
Styles’ last victory at a WWE PLE was on November 26, 2022, at Survivor Series: WarGames against Finn Bálor.

The last WWE PLE that took place in Perth was Elimination Chamber 2024. Ripley defeated Nia Jax in the main event to retain the Women’s World Championship.
The first Sky match at Crown Jewel was in 2022, also a tag team match, and also involved Asuka. In that match, Sky and Dakota Kai defeated Asuka and Alexa Bliss to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Roman Reigns vs. Bronson Reed
Reigns and Reed have faced each other in three WWE matches, all at PLE events. Reigns has a 3-0 record in those matches, including their only singles match at Clash in Paris in August.
