Following a visit to the Black x Brave Wrestling Academy, John Cena had another pit stop, this time at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The 17-time champion spent hours at the facility, talking with NXT stars. It was his first stop at the Performance Center since he announced the John Cena Classic where stars from NXT will take on main roster Superstars in a future event.
AJ Styles, who like Cena is now retired and working for WWE, also visited two training centers this week.
First, Styles stopped by Fight The World Wrestling Academy, a wrestling school in Pinellas Park, Florida, a school run by Bryan Idol, Mike Mondo, and Natalia Markova.
“Most people never even get CLOSE to a ring…our students are learning directly from people who’ve main-evented WrestleMania, traveled the world, and actually lived this business,” FTW’s social media account said. “Thank you to The Phenomenal One AJ Styles for a great class! See you again soon.”
He then surprised Nattie on her 44th birthday as she held a class with her husband TJ Wilson at their Dungeon.
“I had the most PHENOMENAL birthday today sweating with my Dungeon family alongside @AJStylesOrg,” Nattie wrote on X. “AJ gave us all the answers to the test… and then some. He got in there, wrestled, pushed us, and shared his knowledge with everyone in the room.”
Nattie described Styles as “one of the greatest wrestlers of our generation” and said she couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift.
