On this week’s episode of “Raw,” Cena defeated Dominik Mysterio to capture the one title that has eluded him — the Intercontinental Championship. With it, Cena can now call himself a Grand Slam Champion and also potentially round out a stacked WarGames team at WWE Survivor Series.
“You can see Cena’s thing getting raised to the rafters, and right as it’s there and people are about to applaud [you hear], ‘Ladies and gentlemen my name is Paul Heyman.’ Layer one with the heels,” Bully Ray said. “Then [CM] Punk, Cody [Rhodes] and [Jey] Uso and then we fill in one guy here. Then all of a sudden Brock’s music and there’s Brock and John face to face again. But the babyfaces need one more guy. Roman’s music. Now you’ve created something that feels as big, if not bigger than as what happened in Boston with Dom.”
As it stands, six competitors are confirmed for the 2025 Men’s WarGames match: CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, and Logan Paul. The former three will be part of one team, while the other three have joined the other. According to a report from Ibou of “Self Made,” WWE has long considered booking Cena and Roman Reigns on the same WarGames team as Punk and Rhodes, though there was some concern over the specific aligning of Rhodes and Reigns. The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer expects Reigns and Brock Lesnar to return during next Monday’s show at Madison Square Garden, with them filling the fourth spot on each team, respectively.
Cena will reportedly be a part of Team Punk, per Ibou; the possible identity of the final member for Breakker and Reed’s team, on the other hand, has yet to be seen.
