Update on plans for John Cena and Rey Mysterio at WWE Survivor Series
With this month’s WWE Survivor Series rapidly approaching, there continues to be questions about what new Intercontinental Champion John Cena will be doing at the show.
On Wednesday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez were discussing that aspect with Meltzer saying he expects this Monday’s Raw from Madison Square Garden to be “a hell of a show” that completes the men’s WarGames match lineup.
However, it doesn’t appear that Cena will be part of that match.
Meltzer said he had thought Cena could be part of the double cage match to create a dream team alongside CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso.
“I can tell you that is not happening,” he said. “I was told (of the idea) ‘not even close,'” he said.
Meltzer then added that a match between Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio is also not taking place at the PLE from San Diego’s Petco Park.
He said he’s unsure if that means a Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio rematch for the title will take place instead or not. Originally, their singles match was set to take place at Survivor Series but was moved up to this past Monday’s Raw in Boston instead.
