Speaking about the match with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Styles addressed the possibility of facing John Cena one more time before he retires, saying that he would like the match, but he doesn't make those decisions.

"I don’t know. I don’t make those decisions. I would love to have it for sure, it’d be fun. Honestly, I think that there’s something about, I can’t explain why him and I gel so well together. I don’t know what it is, because we’re definitely not the same in any kind of way. It just works. The first time I got in the ring with him it was like, Wow, dude, that was cool. So, yeah, I would love the opportunity to work with Cena again." he said.
