AJ wanted to display his excellence immediately. He'd Irish Whip me into the ropes and follow up with a beautiful dropkick!

Throw Cena against the ropes using an Irish Whip and then press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) to perform a dropkick when he rebounds back.

I figured I'd use my superior power to dictate the pace, but AJ neutralized that by Dodging/Blocking three of my attacks!

Like in other Showcase Mode matches, players can perform three dodges fairly easily by picking Cena up from the mat while he is still groggy and pressing R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox). Even though Cena isn't attacking, the dodges will still count toward the total.

When AJ went to the Apron, I figured he wanted a rest. But it was a trap, and he connected with a Slingshot DDT to put me down!

Climb onto the apron using R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox), then, when Cena approaches, press either Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) to perform a Slingshot DDT.

Styles also wanted to show me he was more than flips and dives. That was pretty clear when he put me into a devastating Submission hold in the ring!

With Cena down on the mat, stand beside him near his head or his feet and then press either R2 + Circle (PlayStation) or RT + B (Xbox) to perform a submission move.

Not letting up, AJ would then unleash a huge Front Heavy Attack when I was on my feet in the ring!

While facing Cena in the ring, press either the X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) button.

We'd survived each other's best shot to this point, and Styles knew to stay on task. A big Front Heavy Grapple in the ring definitely hurt me!

Grab Cena and then press either the X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) button.

He was in a flow now, going from move to move. AJ would head to the apron, looking to connect with his Signature Springboard 45o Splash!

With the Signature meter full, knock Cena down in the ring and then climb out onto the apron. Once there, press R2 + Square (PlayStation) or RT + X (Xbox) to perform a Springboard 450 Splash.

With my air gone, I was easy pickings as AJ attempted his Wheelbarrow Facebuster in the ring!

Knock Cena down and then pick him straight back up. While he's still groggy, get behind him, grab him with Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox), and then press either X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) while flicking the left analog stick up.

Expecting more aerial attacks, AJ caught me off guard with a tricky Grab Combo while we were in the ring!

Perform any Grab Combos. To check AJ Styles' moves, players can pause the game and head to the COMBOS menu. Grab Combos are the ones that end with players pressing Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox).

In an instant, I was trapped in the corner, and AJ was attempting another Front Light Corner Attack!

Irish Whip Cena into one of the corners and then press either the Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) button while facing him.

Knowing I was hurt, AJ turned his attention to my Legs, looking to Damage to them!

With Cena down in the ring, stand near his legs and press either Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) to grab them. Next, press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) in order to perform a targeted attack.

Now I was slowed down, and AJ turned it up with his Springboard Moonsault DDT while I was standing in the ring!

Stand near the ropes and then press L1 + Square (PlayStation) or LB + X (Xbox) to perform a Springboard Moonsault DDT.

AJ followed that up with another huge Front Heavy Grapple Attack while we were in the ring!

Grab Cena in the ring and then press either X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) while flicking the left analog stick in any direction.

AJ knew he had me. It was just a matter of hitting his Phenomenal Forearm Finisher...

While standing on the apron with at least one bar of the Finisher meter filled up, press either R2 + X (PlayStation) or RT + A (Xbox).

...and then covering me for the Pin to win the match!

With Cena down in the ring, flick the right analog stick down while standing over his body in order to perform a Pin.
