Dominik Mysterio States That It Was ‘Super, Super Surreal’ To Defeat John Cena At WWE Survivor Series: WarGames

Mysterio talks about the PLE match with Cena.

One of the matches on the marquee for WWE’s 2025 Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event was Dominik Mysterio challenging John Cena for the Intercontinental Championship.

With an assist from every member of the Judgment Day, Mysterio was able to defeat Cena. Looking back on the bout, Mysterio said on The Collection with Brad Gilmore that it was surreal.

“Super, super surreal. Not only was it John Cena’s last PLE, last Survivor Series, it was the first wrestling event ever held at Petco Park in San Diego. Bro, I’m born and raised in San Diego. I’ve gone to Padres games my whole life. I lived there. Did a bunch of sh*t I shouldn’t have done in downtown San Diego as well, but, got some great stories I can’t tell. But man, that was just so surreal for me. Walking in, in the city where I’m from, walking out as a double champion, beating John Cena, that sh*t’s insane. You can’t write it. Stuff like that, it writes itself. It’s like a fairytale ending for me.”

Cena’s final match in WWE took place at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, where he was submitted by GUNTHER.
