Report: John Cena Slated to Challenge Dominik Mysterio for Intercontinental Title at Survivor Series

The reported matchup would serve as Cena’s second-to-last bout before a Dec. 13 farewell in Washington, D.C.

Overview

  • Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Cena is scheduled to face Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series: WarGames on Nov. 29 in San Diego.
  • The title challenge is described as Cena’s penultimate match ahead of his planned Dec. 13 sendoff in Washington, D.C., which WWE is promoting with expected White House attendance, per Dave Meltzer.
  • A victory would complete Cena’s Grand Slam, as the Intercontinental title is the only major WWE championship he has never held.

  • From the same reporting line, Gunther is rumored as Cena’s potential opponent for the Washington farewell, while Cena is set to face AJ Styles at Crown Jewel beforehand.
