John Cena won his first-ever intercontinental championship to become WWE Grand Slam Champion.
The WWE on Monday night, November 10, made history after defeating Dominik Mysterio in his hometown of Boston to win the Intercontinental Title and earn the Grand Slam before his retirement.
The 17-time WWE Champion, who was introduced by WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque before the fight, achieved this milestone during his final fight in his home state of Massachusetts.
Cena is now a WWE Grand Slam Champion, which means that he has won the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship, and Tag Team Championship at least once in his career.
The five-time United States Champion’s new achievement sparked reaction from the wrestling world.
One of his biggest rivals of all time The Miz, reacting to Cena’s win, wrote on X, “Took ya long enough. You finally did it. Grand Slam Champion, congrats, but here’s the thing. You won the title I made prestigious. Which means when I win this tournament, I’m not just winning gold… I’m restoring legacy. #MizVsCena"
Rebecca Quin said, “Intercontinental championships. It’s a GOAT thing. We are the greatest wrestlers of all time. It’s not us saying it. Everybody says it. Sports Illustrated says it. Bleacher Report says it. HHH says it.”
WWE sharing the video of the Hall of Fame wrestler on social media with his debut intercontinental belt wrote, “THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!!! JOHN CENA IS A GRAND SLAM CHAMPION!”
Notably, Cena will officially retire from professional wrestling on December 13, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C.
