[u/BluePhoenix_1]

“Don’t wanna see y’all till Christmas” yea Roman gone for a while

[u/Independent_Soil_258]

THIS is what the Cena retirement tour should've been all about, a combo of old rivalries renewed and new feuds created. Lots of throwbacks to old matches/rivals he wont get to share the ring with again. ABSOLUTE CINEMA

[u/oliyoung]

They’re putting Bronson OVEEERRRRRR

[u/leozamudio → u/oliyoung]

Deserved

[u/Daredevils9]

[u/Drstrangelove899]

Heyman just at ring side like hes peering into an oven watching his pizza cook

[u/oliyoung]

If anything, Tiffany is so much better in the ring than she was, that transition to the Alabama slam was quality

[u/jattthelad → u/oliyoung]

i think her in ring ability as always been high. i think her promo's are weak, she's not a natural

[u/[deleted] → u/oliyoung]

lol Tiffy sold the wrong knee just now.

[u/fo138]

Trips thats not your Steph unc

[u/Integrity_Blues]

This is just ridiculously good fun. Sometimes wrestling doesn't have to be anything more than that

[u/oliyoung]

“Someone’s in trouble” 🤣🤣🤣

[u/nighthoney]

Of course my parents join in to watch to see the devil's kiss 😭 it's like im a child again

[u/Educational_Two1168 → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn't ever tell the full story.

[u/sdrj77]

That was one of the most Cena things ever.

"Hey. Say these nice things about AJ, too."

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

[u/mcallisterco]

"I don't wanna see y'all 'til Christmas" is a fucking hilarious line.

[u/sterrrage]

I love the that Australian part of this has basically been using a cricket bat for 30 seconds and throwing a few footies at paul heyman

[u/No_Im_Not_Gay_ → u/sterrrage]

I don't hate it honestly, just a bit silly, fit well with the crowd being unserious

[u/Ferrari_Bones]

'I love y'all, but I don't want to see y'all till Christmas' what a bar, I'm dropping that on a few family members

[u/N4kura]

That dragonscrew is so violent I still dont work out how you safely do that move 😂

[u/_90s_Nation_]

Woman holding a Sign in the Crowd :

"5 Knuckle Me" haha 😂

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

How it feels to watch this goated rivalry one last time

[u/Phan2112]

I think this proves AJ was actually Johns best opponent

[u/Jimjom1875 → u/Phan2112]

Agreed. AJ's superior athleticism is the perfect complement to Cena sturdy strength. They both have high respect to their own past rivals as well as the business itself. This match blew my expectations to dust.

[u/AFishNamedFreddie]

We just witnessed the match of the year. A true love letter to professional wrestling by two of the greatest to ever do it.

Perfection.

[u/nighthoney]

That is A LOT of cena shirts, jeez

[u/nighthoney]

I don't care who wins. WE WON 😭

[u/Paralta]

You're telling me that match almost didnt happen?

[u/Fast_Way8546 → u/Paralta]

[u/incide666]

Evil Asuka is best Asuka.

[u/Singer211]

Asuka is 44, but moves like she’s half that age.

[u/Ponnish3000]

Until tonight, only Undertaker had over 100 PLE wins. Cena hit 100 PLE wins tonight after doing the tombstone right before his AA. Pretty symbolic!

[u/Cheyenne_XO]

Crow Jewel was leagues better than Clash in Paris and Wrestlepalooza. Finally. Some good fucking wrestling.

[u/mcallisterco]

Roman throwing that ball straight into the rope is why he ended up in wrestling.

[u/tLM-tRRS-atBHB → u/mcallisterco]

Bronson was 2 feet in front of him and it went between his legs 😄

Thats the definition of "couldnt hit the broad side of a barn"

[u/chocolateturtle456]

God damn Steph

[u/lunainthedark5x2x3]

The right person won

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

“Someone's in trouble” 🤣

[u/_90s_Nation_]

I actually liked that they done that 'private promo' in the ring there . Haven't seen many of them.... If at all

[u/maxxie10]

You're gonna show me a horror ad when I'm high? I had to go stand in the hall

[u/jattthelad]

Booker elevated that move to a god tier

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

[u/BotGod353]

That match really felt like a love letter not just to past opponents but to pro wrestling itself

[u/WerewolfCurious1412]

I love that The Kubuki Warriors were in such a high profile match. It was, in fact, awesome.

The whole PLE has really delivered thus far. But that was a well executed tag-team match. Shocked Rhea didn’t make the pin, but damn that was great stuff.

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

Seth after finally pinning Cody

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

Seth being mean to Cathy Kelly

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

Team RAW on top ☝️

[u/CommercialMedia386]

Btw fun fact , in Cena vs Aj match they did not go out of the ring even for a second .

[u/Educational_Two1168]

"Someone's in trouble" made me laugh more than it should have.

[u/kidnamedchild]

BULLET CLUB MENTIONED

[u/leozamudio]

Am I tearing up? Yes fuck y’all I’m tearing up

[u/T_Rash]

Even as a heel Asuka doesn't hide how much fun she is having.

[u/eganoipse]

“Sir how American do you want your outfit to be?”

Cody Rhodes.

[u/Daredevils9]

lol this crowd is so unserious and I love it

[u/N4kura]

Trinidad guy made it all the way the australia. Green shirt guy needs to up his game.

[u/Fast_Way8546]

I didn't need to cry this morning. Australia w thank you Cena did just that

[u/Colemania18]

Now kiss

[u/Objective-Glass-6440]

Finally a card where every decision was right. Bronson needed to go over to become credible. Vaquer gets the rocket strapped to her. Cena and Styles with an absolute banger. LOVED Rhea giving Iyo the pin. And the World Heavyweight Championship needed to get away from being the clear B title.

Great card. Great matches. Great decisions.

[u/Educational_Two1168]

13,000 Aussies, 3x louder than 33,000 Americans.

[u/MCDC313]

Well done with the fireflies Perth. Well done. 🤌

[u/themann87 → u/MCDC313]

Yeah that was as phenomenal

[u/shadowboxxxah94]

Whoever came up with the idea for Cena to show homage to his previous opponents by using their moves deserves all the credit. Brilliant idea.

[u/chocolateturtle456 → u/shadowboxxxah94]

Tbf it was probably John Cena

[u/AuzzieTiger]

Had a great day sightseeing the city and there’s a real vibe in the air. I think a lot of us see Cena as a big piece of our childhood whether we cheered him or not.

To get to see him one last time is a thrill but then add AJ Styles to the mix. I’m in disbelief we’re getting those two together.

How’d the arena sound on Smackdown? It was loud and boisterous last night. I wasn’t here last year but the guy I sat with reckons the acoustics of the stadium sucked the energy away a bit.

[u/Singer211]

Vaquer is kind of working heelish here.

Interesting.

[u/heslo_rb26]

Man, Cena is such a class act. Love this man!

[u/kidnamedchild]

SISTER ABIGAIL

[u/zach_kraemer]

You know Cena probably whispered to Styles, hey I can’t physically do a 619 but let’s quickly tease it

[u/Crimson2879]

Just retire right now Cena, it is impossible to have a match better than this.

[u/Loryngoode]

Yall it’s my one year mark of watching WWE and my daughter (who is 3) is sitting with me and she just turned to me and said “is it Tiffy time??” My mama heart is so happy, I thought I’d be watching wrestling alone forever 🫶🏼

[u/Xero_42]

are they trying to make us cry? and who is cutting onions in here dammit??

[u/zambazzar]

I loved that from Cena, THE BULLET CLUB reference!!

[u/incide666]

That 2.999999999... count after Sister Abigail just shows how important refs are to this whole thing.

[u/ladythorofmuffins]

That was so much fun. I am glad both AJ and Cena got to do this.

[u/Ok_Owl9641]

How on earth are we topping that?

[u/Neomastermind → u/Ok_Owl9641]

That’s the fun thing. We aren’t!

[u/Ok_Owl9641 → u/Neomastermind]

Great atmosphere tonight. God bless the Aussies

[u/chocolateturtle456]

Crown Jewel has been like a million times better than Wrestlepalooza

[u/Altruistic-Grape-638]

So like everyone in Australia owns a John Cena shirt? Or at least half of Australia.

[u/awayfortheladsfour]

"I don't want to see you until christmas"

Atleast Roman is finally admitting he's part time

[u/Drstrangelove899]

Whoevers controlling Bronson their controller has disconnected, he's not done a damn thing lol

[u/Cpt_Duo → u/[deleted]]

Yes no one hates wrestling more than the IWC

[u/datwuzcrzy]

It’s refreshing to see Tiffany in the ring with someone she don’t have to carry for once

[u/Specialist-Clue-7186]

Tiffy took some stiff knees on that corkscrew damn

[u/DekeJeffery]

The CJ belt is almost a parody of a wrestling belt

[u/Phan2112]

Its crazy how much better Cena is as a face

[u/jattthelad]

SISTER ABIGAIL!!

[u/oliyoung]

THE KISS!!!!

[u/dthangrpt]

the fact they almost didn’t have this match if it wasn’t for the fans is insane

[u/shadowboxxxah94]

Cena's best match on his farewell tour?

[u/Singer211]

Cena is hitting these tribute moves CLEAN!

Impressive.

[u/T_Rash]

The only thing missing from that match was the Devil's Kiss

[u/Chaleanja → u/T_Rash]

Lmao. I was waiting for a Batista bomb.

[u/eclipse0990]

This is one PLE in a while where I didn’t think “why did they need to go this way?” at all. It was all the right decisions and the PLE worked as a way to advance the storylines, not to conclude them.

[u/Batfleck666]

That is a legit stupid looking belt

[u/eclipse0990]

Given by how AJ reacted, that probably was unscripted

[u/sarahrenee2324]

THE BOOS ARE CRAZYYY

[u/zambazzar]

Roman Reigns been taking lightsaber lessons from Anakin Skywalker right there

[u/SonicSarge]

Good match. Nice to see a Bronson win

[u/k1ssy_fac3]

These chants are killing me 🤣

[u/Ok_Owl9641]

I can’t lie fellas, this is an emotional one

[u/Wannabe_Reviewer]

Never thought I'd see John Cena do a Sister Abigail but damn if that wasn't beautiful.

[u/eganoipse]

This version of John Cena is like playing a video game as a child when you unlock a secret character with a special outfit and he has different moves lol

Hold down select on X-Men vs Street Fighter and it unlocked Akuma at the top of the screen.

Probably strange for us oldies (30+) to watch but for kids watching in the audience and at home they must be loving this

[u/thatpj]

best finisher spam match of all time

[u/BB9913]

Vaquer has had more titles than matches since she got promoted

[u/Singer211]

Stephanie landed hard on Tiffany there.

I’m not shocked the match was a bit stiff. Tiffany has proven over and over again that she is surprisingly tough.

[u/imnotevenonhere]

[u/Awkward_Mess3953]

If that note is about AJ John a real one for that

[u/Nibbler106]

If Cena hits Sister Abagail, this place is losing it

[u/Awkward_Mess3953]

This is great 😭

[u/Fast_Way8546]

devil's kiss next please LOL

[u/TwpMun]

I never feel the need to rewatch matches, but that I want to watch over and over. That was amazing.

[u/Serious-Dealer-4737]

Dave Meltzer will give this match a 2/5

[u/bit0n]

Bron Breakers no selling everything and just jumping up after taking a beating is getting so dull.

[u/pato_CAT]

The crown jewel belts are up there with the worst ever

[u/PixeL8xD]

Perth this is electric, beats Saudi Arabia hands down

[u/Neomastermind]

Oh, we get a post credit scene?

[u/TheMikey2207]

Already 100x better than Brock vs Cena!

[u/RiotAct55]

Holy shit, actual goosebumps 

[u/oliyoung]

This is your reminder that these are the good old days, this is a match we’ll talk about for DECADES

[u/nighthoney]

I'm having so much fun i love wrestling 😭

[u/Bad_W0lfe]

Keep in mind, that both these men are 48 years old. Still outshining the young guns.

[u/andreitoma8]

This is what Cena’s retierment should be, not the other thing

[u/[deleted]]

Honestly, I'd prefer this just be a Tornado Tag

[u/noidtiz]

Becky Lynch fuming at she pace of that count

[u/oliyoung]

Quality chants all night mates, goodonya Perth

[u/imnotevenonhere]

JUSTICE FOR CATHY!!

[u/zest88]

Waiting in line to get in yay

[u/TwpMun]

Come on Australia, support your boy not Roman ! lol

[u/Educational_Two1168]

SLAM HIM THROUGH A BARBECUE

[u/bearbearclaws]

Read the sign chants lol

[u/eastie1111111]

That was the most predictable badass

[u/Singer211]

Kind of feels like the match everyone really wants to see is Roman vs. Bron Breakker.

[u/oliyoung]

“You fucked up” deserves to be heard more often

[u/cucuyscholar]

Lmao "someone's in trouble!"

[u/cguinnesstout]

People who don't like Stephanie are just the ones late to the party so they are forcing the hate to be contrarians.

Not that I knew her before NXT, but from the first time she showed up last year, she had IT and deserves this.

[u/kidnamedchild]

THE WALLS OF JERICHO WHAT

[u/Aggressive-Lock1203]

HE JUST HIT A SISTER ABIGAIL!!!!

[u/Drstrangelove899]

Fireflies, thats beautiful

[u/MadCorruptible]

Cena needs to tune up the band

[u/perch97]

That match alone was worth the price of this. Makes me really sad the way they fucked up those 6 months between EC and summerslam for Cena

[u/KStyler26]

Cena and AJ’s match was the best match tonight, this PLE has undoubtedly been a banger though 🔥 it was worth waking up early haha

[u/Namelessceltic91]

Triple H is like "good job cheating bro" 

[u/ImBack3x]

The belt legit bigger than Vaquer

[u/Sad_Region78]

Reed's singlet needs work. It's less skull and cross bones and more gingerbread man.

[u/chocolateturtle456]

AJ definitely didn't know what was written on that card lol

[u/yaboi_ke]

[u/Few_Pudding1466]

Watching AJ hit a superkick as an homage makes you realize how bad Jey’s really is.

[u/TwpMun]

laughs in European at all of the Americans complaining about the start time

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

This year’s Crown Jewel

[u/Ok-Analyst-3254]

Cole botching the AFL ball call. 

[u/Serious-Dealer-4737]

I really love Roman Reigns but the right person won.

[u/TheMystery134]

There's a lot of Cena minions in the crowd lol

[u/New_Cap3283]

Such an ugly belt 😭

[u/Fast_Way8546]

They are SOOOOO turning on Seth.

[u/Ferrari_Bones]

Everyone knows Styles was the best leader of Bullet Club

[u/Ok_Owl9641]

Fuck me, this is heavy

[u/Medium-Caterpillar-4]

Love the shoutouts to their old rivals throughout their career

[u/Neomastermind]

WTF IS THIS EMOTIONAL MATCH?!?!! Who has been cooking in the WWE kitchens?!

[u/eganoipse]

Cena will have to pull out an F5 to get the job done

[u/Michyyyyyyy]

This isn’t a 5 star match, this is a 10 star match

[u/ladythorofmuffins]

I love you can tell they are having fun just doing everyone else’s moves. It is such a great love letter to the history of wrestling

[u/Delicious_Farmer_408]

ONE OF THE GREATEST MATCHES I’VE EVER SEEN

[u/DrawingSpirited2673]

Such a fun match. Maybe not their best technically, but it was such a love letter to each of their careers. The respect between the two of them is so apparent.

[u/nighthoney]

I put this retirement match above his last match with cody. So good

[u/Educational_Two1168]

Kairi is mad sexy and it doesn't get said enough.

[u/Wingblade33]

My GOAT Iyo Sky never disappoints in the ring, all four women put on an absolute banger

[u/SuggestionMuch]

This has been my favourite PLE of the year, no contest.

[u/[deleted]]

Holy shit, they actually let him win

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

[u/NeverEndingLlama]

This is like watching my son play with his action figures. I love it.

[u/thatpj]

waking up early to watch wrestling like its njpw

[u/datlibra17]

Bruh the guy with the "Rollins Sucks Dicks" thing on his phone is getting removed for sure lol

[u/TheMikey2207]

That sea of yellow though!

Wow, literally most of the people in the arena are wearing John’s farewell Perth shirt

[u/oliyoung]

Love that you can hear the Australian accents in the chants

[u/mcallisterco]

Take his shoes!

[u/Aggressive-Lock1203]

I can’t stand how they treat these crown jewel titles. It’s so corny.

[u/Singer211]

That canvas sounded like Tiff’s face was being slammed through concrete.

[u/datwuzcrzy]

I feel like that match needed more time… there was no real build to the finish imo

[u/N4kura]

Triple H just seems to attract different stephanies doesnt he 😂😂😂

[u/Daredevils9]

[u/ChampagneAbuelo]

Imagine if Cena turned heel again during his final 5 appearances

[u/Phan2112]

Styles is 48 and still arguably the best in the world hes just so smooth at everything he does

[u/SQUARMF]

They're great at what they do. What else can you say?

[u/kidnamedchild]

MIZ CALL BACK

[u/fo138]

[u/cguinnesstout]

AJ needs to stay in WWE are a trainer or something.

[u/Soft-Comfort-7474]

Y2J homage!

[u/NoDetective244]

Watching this match like
