Earlier reports suggested John Cena might finally chase the Intercontinental Championship, the one title missing from his career. Dominik Mysterio, the reigning champion, was even rumored to defend against Cena in his hometown of San Diego at Survivor Series. However, Rey Mysterio’s return on RAW shifted the focus back to the father‑son rivalry, leaving Cena without a clear singles match. This development opens the door for him to be slotted into the WarGames match instead.
