What John Cena Told Rey Mysterio After Dethroning Dominik Mysterio
John Cena is finally a Grand Slam Champion. He beat Dominik Mysterio on WWE RAW this week to become the new Intercontinental Champion.
On the November 10 edition of Monday Night Raw, The Never Seen 17 kicked things off with a fiery promo in his hometown of Boston. He declared he was invincible and warned anyone looking for a fight to think twice. Shortly after, Mysterio came out and took shots at Cena, claiming he wasn’t even at his peak yet and that he’s already better than Cena was in his prime.
Cena showed respect for Dominik’s father, Rey Mysterio, but made it clear that Mysterio better choose his words carefully. But an egotistical Mysterio challenged Cena anytime, anywhere, to prove it. Triple H stepped in and made their match official on the spot.
John Cena Vs Dominik Mysterio: Intercontinental Championship On The Line
The match was intense from the jump. Mysterio attacked Cena aggressively, stomping him in the corner and using every trick in his playbook. At one point, he unwrapped the top turnbuckle pad, and the referee tried to fix it, but he took advantage by grabbing a steel chair. Cena smartly played along and faked being hit to throw him off.
In the chaos, the referee accidentally got knocked out. Cena locked in the STF submission, and Dominik Mysterio tapped out, but the ref couldn’t see it. The young star tried to hit Cena with the Intercontinental Title, but Cena dodged and hit his signature Attitude Adjustment.
The ending segment of the bout saw Dom hit a 619 and a Frog Splash on Cena. But the WWE legend countered it into an Attitude Adjustment to pin Mysterio and win the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his long, storied career.
The crowd was electric, chanting loudly for The Greatest of All Time as he stood tall with the title. After celebrating his victory in the ring, Cena went backstage, where a bunch of superstars were waiting to congratulate him. He also met with Rey Mysterio, and the two legends shook hands. This is how their conversation went:
Rey Mysterio: He really needed an a** kicking.
John Cena: He’s a good kid. I hope it was a good lesson.
Rey Mysterio: I’m sure it was. Congrats.
