The Miz is unhappy that fans are more excited to see John Cena face AJ Styles instead of him, even though he has had a major rivalry with Cena in the past.
Cena’s retirement tour will end in December 2025. His match against AJ Styles is already confirmed for Crown Jewel. After that, Cena will have four appearances left with two on premium live events and two on WWE RAW.
In an interview with The Schmo, The Miz admitted he feels frustrated that fans aren’t asking for a final showdown between him and Cena. He said, “It pisses me off as a WWE Superstar because I feel like I have had a big rivalry with Cena, I’ve had multiple WrestleManias with John Cena. And yet the fans aren’t sitting there saying, ‘Hey, we want The Miz vs John Cena.’ They’re saying, ‘We want AJ Styles vs John Cena.'”
The Miz says he wants a spot in John Cena’s final matches
The Miz pointed out that he wants to be one of those spots in Cena’s final matches. “John Cena has five matches left – or five dates, I don’t even know how many matches are left in his pocket, but there’s five dates. That’s it. That’s five Superstars that are gonna get an opportunity to be in the ring and I want myself to be one of them. I’ve been vocal. I’ve been the first person to say out there that I wanna put my name in the hat to go against John Cena. I was the first person, when I heard about the whole farewell tour. I said, ‘I wanna be the first person to put my name in the hat.'”
“All the fans had to do was tweet and go on Instagram and talk about it, get it riled up, to where it would be The Miz vs John Cena one last time. But no, you wanted the Randy Orton. You wanted the Brock Lesnar. You wanted the AJ Styles. You didn’t ask for this guy.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
