WWE has announced a "dream match" between AJ Styles and John Cena, who recently returned to the ring after sustaining a shoulder injury that benched him for five months.

In breaking the news about the fight, Cena tweeted that the match will end "15 years of wondering what if." Cena and Styles will throw it down in the Money in the Bank ladder match this month.

Upon the announcement, Styles said that his fight with Cena felt like "Wrestlemania came early" and touted that even though it is a "dream match" for him, it won't be the case for Cena, who he said will get a taste of his true strength.

However, some fans feared for Styles in his battle with Cena, thinking that it could potentially hurt his career big time. On the other hand, some think that the Cena-Styles feud may just be the best ongoing one in WWE yet.

Cena returned to WWE during Memorial Day. Media outlets have always been speculating that WWE has something massive up its sleeves for the Cenation leader. As it turns out, it is a match that will pit him against Styles for the first time.

His match against Styles will be the first he will engage in after recovering from his shoulder injury and it is deemed to be the biggest one as well.

Many WWE fans think that Styles will be beaten and overpowered when the two clash in a throwdown of a lifetime at the Money in the Bank ladder match.

The feud that built up the fight started after Styles interrupted Cena as he enjoyed the welcome of the WWE Monday Night Raw crowd for his homecoming.

Styles, along with The Club members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, attacked him. Just like that, the group officially got back together just a week after they appeared to have disbanded.

The Money in the Bank ladder match between Cena and Styles on June 19.
