John Cena Confirms His Survivor Series 2025 Opponent — And It’s Personal
John Cena’s legendary WWE career is in its final chapter, and every week leading to December feels like a historic moment. After completing his Grand Slam journey and wrestling his final match on Monday Night RAW, Cena has now officially confirmed his opponent for Survivor Series 2025 — and it’s a man who wants revenge on his home turf.
This isn’t just a title defense.
This is closure.
⭐ A Final Ride Filled with Emotion and Legacy
Last week on WWE RAW in Boston, John Cena shocked the WWE Universe by capturing the Intercontinental Championship from Dominik Mysterio — the only title that had eluded him throughout his 20+ year career.
With the win, he completed his long-awaited Grand Slam Championship, ending Dominik’s six-month reign that was built on cheap victories, outside interference, and classic Judgment Day chaos.
For Cena, this was more than a title win.
It was an emotional homecoming.
It was a final thank-you to the fans who stood with him since 2002.
But for Dominik Mysterio?
It was humiliation.
⭐ Dominik Demands Revenge — Only on His Terms
On this week’s RAW, Dominik Mysterio interrupted Cena once again, full of anger and excuses. He refused Cena’s offer for a final RAW match, claiming:
“You had the crowd behind you last week. I want MY advantage this time.”
Dominik then dropped the challenge that everyone saw coming —
but on his conditions only:
⭐ Survivor Series 2025
📍 San Diego, California (Dominik’s hometown)
🏆 Intercontinental Championship Match
🔥 Dominik Mysterio vs. John Cena
This gives Dominik the biggest advantage possible:
A hometown crowd in San Diego… and the full backing of The Judgment Day.
To no one’s surprise, John Cena accepted.
⭐ But Cena Wanted One More Thing… A Pure Fight
Before Dominik left, Cena added one more emotional request:
“Forget the title. Forget the advantage. Just fight me one-on-one… for my last RAW match.”
Dominik refused, of course — but the moment set the tone. Rematch accepted, but on Dom's terms...
Cena wanted one last pure wrestling moment.
Dominik wanted the Intercontinental title — and revenge.

⭐ Judgment Day Strikes — Legends Arrive
Moments after Dominik walked away from Cena, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh ambushed the 17-time World Champion. The beatdown looked inevitable — until two of Cena’s oldest rivals and closest allies appeared:
-
Rey Mysterio
-
Sheamus
Both rushed to Cena’s rescue, turning the segment into chaos that ended with Cena challenging for a six-man tag match — the final RAW match of his career.
This trio — Cena, Rey, and Sheamus — represents decades of WWE history.
Their win closed an unforgettable chapter.
⭐ Survivor Series 2025: Cena’s Final Battles Begin
John Cena now has two final matches before retirement:
🥈 1. Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio — Intercontinental Championship
Survivor Series 2025 — San Diego, CA
A revenge story. A hometown clash. A career-ending pressure point.
🥇 2. Cena’s Final Match — TBD
A tournament will decide his ultimate opponent.
This will be Cena’s last match… ever.
⭐ The End of an Era Approaches
John Cena’s farewell run has become one of the most emotional storylines WWE has produced in years. Each moment feels like history — from winning the IC title, to wrestling his final RAW match, to confirming his penultimate opponent.
At Survivor Series in San Diego, the world will watch as Cena puts his newly won championship on the line — knowing that win or lose, this chapter is closing forever.
This is “The Last Time is Now.”
This is Cena’s farewell.
And the WWE Universe isn’t ready to say goodbye.
