This past Monday night on WWE RAW, 17-time World Champion John Cena defeated The Judgment Day's AAA Mega Champion, Dominik Mysterio, to become the new Intercontinental Champion and a Grand Slam Champion within the company.
Dave Meltzer noted on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that the match between Cena and Mysterio was originally scheduled to take place at this month's WWE Survivor Series premium live event (PLE). However, WWE decided to move the matchup from Survivor Series to RAW to allow Cena to have a memorable moment in his last hometown appearance in Boston.
Meltzer initially believed that Cena’s title win over Dominik meant he would not be facing the AAA Mega Champion at Survivor Series. He speculated that WWE might create a "dream team" for the Survivor Series Men's team consisting of CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Roman Reigns, and Cena. Nevertheless, the report also mentioned that it is still possible for Cena to face Dominik in a rematch at Survivor Series. Still, Meltzer stated that Cena’s final match, which is expected to be against GUNTHER, was "always" intended to be for the title.
Cena is set to compete in his last match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th, which will take place at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Survivor Series is scheduled to be held at Petco Park in San Diego on Saturday, November 29th, and will air live on the ESPN App.
