John Cena Wins Intercontinental Title in Boston, Becomes Grand Slam Champion

The victory completes his Grand Slam ahead of a Dec. 13 farewell in Washington.

Overview

  • Cena defeated Dominik Mysterio on Monday Night Raw after Triple H ordered an immediate Intercontinental Championship match on-air.
  • Mysterio attempted to cheat with a chair and pressed late with a 619 and a Frog Splash try before Cena won via Attitude Adjustment and pin.
  • The Intercontinental crown was the lone major WWE title missing from Cena’s resume, fulfilling the criteria for Grand Slam status.
  • Backstage, Rey Mysterio and WWE champion Cody Rhodes were among those who congratulated Cena on the milestone.
  • WWE has slated his final match for Dec. 13 in Washington, D.C., with the opponent to emerge from a tournament, and coverage notes he remains in remission after two skin-cancer removals earlier this year.
