John Cena Planned Championship Win Before WWE Retirement Update

WWE

A new report has revealed details regarding WWE’s plans for a John Cena championship win before his retirement at the end of the year.

With only four dates remaining on his WWE Farewell Tour, John Cena’s penultimate appearance will come at Survivor Series in San Diego, CA on November 29.

WWE’s plans for the show are said to involve Cena challenging San Diego’s own Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship, with it being reported that Cena dethroning Mysterio and then defending it in his final match  had been “discussed” by WWE.

In a new update, Dave Meltzer has now revealed via the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE’s plan, as of a few weeks ago, is for this to happen – with Cena winning the Intercontinental Title at Survivor Series, before then defending it against GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington D.C. on December 13.

Melter writes:

The fourth match is Dominik Mysterio vs Penta vs. Rusev for the IC title. Mysterio would be the favorite given there was the plan a few weeks ago of John Cena winning that title from Mysterio at Survivor Series and defending against Gunther in his retirement match.

The Intercontinental Championship is the only major title Cena has yet to win in his illustrious WWE career, and doing so would result in him becoming a Grand Slam Champion in the company.

Cena’s planned final opponent GUNTHER has been off WWE television since losing the World Heavyweight Championship to CM Punk at SummerSlam, with the Austrian reportedly undergoing surgery for a nose injury shortly after that match.

We will provide more details on Cena’s creative plans for his remaining WWE dates as more information becomes available.
