Dominik Mysterio recently spoke about his role as John Cena’s second-to-last WWE opponent at Survivor Series 2025, set to take place tonight. Mysterio will battle Cena for the Intercontinental Championship during this premium live event in his hometown of San Diego, marking a rematch from their recent Raw match in Cena’s hometown of Boston.
When asked about the significance of facing Cena one last time, Mysterio casually described it as "just a Saturday," emphasizing his down-to-earth approach despite the big moment. He shared that while he might enjoy some local San Diego treats like a California burrito or an In-N-Out burger afterward, he views the match as another day at work.
Mysterio believes Cena should appreciate the gravity of their encounter since it gives Cena the chance to become a Grand Slam champion to cap off his illustrious career. He also acknowledged that the rematch was arranged due to Cena’s popularity with WWE management rather than luck or chance.
Having experienced four WrestleManias and holding multiple titles—including the Intercontinental, AAA Mega, and two NXT North American Championships—Dominik ranks this match highly but isn’t certain if it’s his most important one yet.
Fan Take: This match is a pivotal moment for WWE enthusiasts as it highlights the transition between generations within the company, with Cena passing the torch to newer talent like Mysterio. It adds meaningful narrative depth to Cena’s career finale and could significantly elevate Mysterio’s standing in the wrestling world.
