Raw Recap - “Dirty” Dom Mysterio talks John Cena rematch | Full Survivor Series: WarGames preview:

0:09Oh, Megan, I love this time of year, and it's not just for the turkey, it's not just for the giblets. It's because it is Survivor Series season. And of course, the modern addition to the Thanksgiving tradition. War Games. It's here. Days away. I mean, can you feel the excitement? This is going to be a big one. It's a massive one. I don't know if we've ever seen two teams as star-studded as we're going to see this Saturday at War Games. And it could be either match you're talking about, right? That's right. All four teams. That's right. Like 20 of the top superstars in the world. We've been fantasy booking this for weeks.

0:57Yeah. And I don't know if any of us in our wildest dreams could have imagined these 20 stars here. Yeah. I mean, well, that's what's so fun about both of these War Games matches. And we'll talk about these War Games matches. We're going to talk about the big, big singles matches that are on this show, too, as well. Dominic Mysterio is going to be joining us in a little bit. But which, Megan, that was your choice, I believe. I did not book the guest. Really? I guess it was just a one vote scenario then. But what's so amazing about both of these war games matches is there are so many. You're talking about fantasy booking a minute ago.

1:35There are so many different directions. Both of these matches could go in because there is so much tension, not only between the two teams, but within the teams that exist. Let's talk about this men's war games match. You talk about star studage. You talk about an example. For me, this men's war games match, when you talk about two rings in a steel cage being filled with superstars, and these are superstars that range, I would argue, from 2002 to 2032. I don't think you need to argue it. I think that's a fact. Yes. Yes. You have stars that have been around and stars that will be around and just going in to something that's going to be a complete meltdown, right?

2:25You've got Brom Breaker and Bronson Reed who have added Logan Paul to their kind of union in the vision. It really seems like Logan Paul is fully on board with the vision. Which feels right from everything we've seen from Logan Paul and with the vision's mission statement as being what they believe to be the future of the industry. And Logan Paul believes that he's the future of the industry. So why not be a part of the vision? And just every single time I see Logan Paul with Paul Heyman, feels like it should have always been that way. Yeah, doesn't Logan Paul strike you as the exact type of wrestler that Paul Heyman would glom onto?

3:04Yes. A thousand percent. Immediately. Yes. He got how many views? Yeah, let me see if I can talk to Mr. Paul. You know? Logan Paul, Heyman. There's just too much there. I know for a second. I was like, which Paul? Right. Mr. Heyman, Mr. Paul. And listen, what Paul Heyman is doing with Bronson Reed, with Logan Paul, and very specifically with Brom Breaker is what he did in 2002. With a superstar named Brock Lesnar. Who burst out onto the scene. And I mean before 2002 was up. He beat The Rock and became the WWE champion. And has not looked back ever since. The idea that Brock Lesnar is realigned with Paul Heyman.

3:57Is going into a war games team. Like it is rare to see Brock Lesnar on a team in general. the idea that he is part of a war games team and it is a Paul Heyman war games team is massive it is wild when you really think about the egos on this team yeah I mean Logan Paul is not a guy that I would describe as a team player I don't know his music talks about how humble he is yeah it does yeah that's I think that might be a just a touch of sarcasm there but I don't think it's based on a true story at least based on a true story maybe an imaginary true story okay all right um Brock Lesnar also not a guy I would describe as a team player no he doesn't play well with others Paul Heyman has literally described this man as somebody he doesn't like people that's what he says about Brock you have to understand he doesn't like people I mean there has to be a game plan so specific for a match like this to make sure that Brock Lesnar doesn't get annoyed I would think there has to be when you're dealing with someone that has what Brock Lesnar has which I don't know if any other human being walking the face of the earth has what Brock Lesnar has but it is interesting to me thinking back to when CM Punk was going after the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday night's main event against Jey Uso this was when Paul Heyman sat down, Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker, and said, listen, you must follow what I say because back in 2002 there was a superstar by the name of Brock Lesnar and he waited and he followed my plan.

5:38And so we've seen this buy-in from Bronson Reed and Braun Breaker to follow what Paul Heyman has told them to do. And one of the examples he gave them was Brock Lesnar. And now they have this example on their team. In front of them. And then, I mean, you talk about egos. Drew McIntyre has decided to join the team of the guy just for the night of the guy who used tricky paperwork to get him out of a suspension. I mean, Paul Heyman just going, and I said, I mean, it was like Veruca Salt at the Wonka factory. I could have anything that I want. And this paper says I can have any superstar from any brand that I want.

6:21And then of course, the suspended Drew McIntyre shows up and Paul Heyman says you said and now here's Drew McIntyre on this monster team but by the way Drew McIntyre has history with Brock Lesnar Drew I mean who knows how that's gonna play out yeah and Drew McIntyre also has just been fierier than we've ever seen him yeah I mean we saw what he did to Cody Rhodes on Smackdown fireier is a wild word fiery more fiery i think it's fireier i trust you i think it's fireier that northwestern degree right there fireier more fired up sure more enraged he has a mission yes and and that's what i'm very curious about is like what is brock's mission here you know it It was almost like, is he just like a professional spoiler?

7:16Is he just going in to wreck good times? Like, it seemed like he just showed up to John Cena's retirement tour. Just to remind people of what he's capable of. It's like, you can all have fun with your John Cena retirement tour. But I'm just going to jump in for a second and destroy him. And then dip out. But the reason I thought maybe he's not dipping out was because just 24 hours before that, he told Paul Heyman, we should talk. Right. And now Brock has shown that he's here, at least for now, for War Games. Maybe. That's what we know. Maybe he feels the type of way about the way he went out when he left.

7:50When he left, he had lost to Roman Reigns. And most recently, as pointed out on SmackDown, he had lost to Cody Rhodes. Both Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns on the other side of the men's War Game match, alongside with CM Punk, Jey Uso, and Jimmy Uso. Listen, I know they're the quote unquote good guys, but you talk about egos. Cody QB1, Roman Reigns OTC1, CM Punk the best in the world. And world heavyweight champion. Jey Uso main event, but just look at what they call themselves. You know what I'm saying? Look at what, like, these are the nicknames that they've ascribed to themselves. Main event, QB1, best in the world, OTC1, and Big Brother Jim.

8:38Big Brother. All of them asserting themselves as the guy. But they all have to work together against this absolutely destructive team brought together by Paul Heyman. There's a lot of hatred between CM Punk and Roman Reigns. There's You're In My Way In Life between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. there's the cousin dynamic between Jimmy Uso, Jay Uso and Roman Reigns. I'm narrowing in specifically on Roman Reigns and Jay Uso in the little Roman comment. And then the brother relationship between Jimmy and Jay where we thought for so many weeks, are they going to be back together and be a super tag team?

9:22Are these guys going to be able to get on the same page and get along? And that relationship has kind of taken a lot of twists and turns as of late. So now to see them on the same team adds another layer as well. Yeah. And yeah, I think you've got Roman who clearly is sitting there dealing with brothers who maybe haven't fully taken his advice that he put out for them. And don't forget about CM Punk here, right? CM Punk is sitting there because I think, you know, we had talked, you know, on Monday about graphics. But graphics matter and where people are positioned on the graphic matters to these pro wrestlers more than anybody possibly knows in a very real life way.

10:04If you don't think professional wrestlers are looking at where they're positioned on these graphics, you got another thing coming. You know, I think that on the Paul Heyman side of things, it's Brock Lesnar. Everybody realizes, yeah, if he's going to be on the team, he is going to be front and center. I don't think CM Punk is very happy that Cody Rhodes is the team captain. I don't think Roman Reigns can't be happy about it. Can't be. I wonder if I bet Jey Uso. He doesn't have much of an argument. He doesn't have a championship, but he's probably not thrilled. There was a point in time not that long ago this year where he could have argued that he should be front and center on this team.

10:44But I think that the underlying tension on the Cody team with Punk and with Roman and with the Usos, I don't see them winning the match. Like, I'll tell you right now, between the amount of tension that exists between everybody on the Cody Rhodes team, the Roman, the fact that we don't, we can't even name whose team it is. The amount of tension that exists over there. And over on the other side, the idea that you have Brock Lesnar staring you down. And people forget. They just think Brock Lesnar is another superstar. He's not. He goes into and destroys people. That's what he does. We had all these creative things that might happen between Brock Lesnar and John Cena.

11:30None of them did. Brock shows up, destroys John Cena. This is what happens time and time and time again. You don't think all of the stars on the good guy team can coexist? No, absolutely not. I do not think that all of those stars can coexist amongst each other. There's only one ball. That's right. All of them consider themselves, and all these nicknames are not accidents. No. And they all believe it, and they all should believe it. They 100 % all should believe it. but if you ask Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk for sure, I'll bet Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso deep down feel a certain way. Do you think Jimmy Uso thinks that Jey is the team captain of just the two of them, the Uso team?

12:15No. Right. You think Jey does? Yes. Thinks that Jey is? Yeah, exactly. Jey thinks he's the captain. You see what I'm saying? Of course, yeah. So you're already between those two trying to figure out who the team captain is. I think if you ask Roman who the team captain is, if you ask Roman who the top guy in the WWE is, He would say himself. How about Cody? He would say himself. How about Punk? He would say himself. So what are we talking about here? How can you have all these top guys? What happened last year when Roman and Punk were on the same team? They didn't get along at all. And the tension between the two is 10 times worse this year.

12:43Especially because CM Punk is the world heavyweight champion. Exactly right. And they're looking down the barrel at Brock Lesnar. That's what I think. Am I off base? No. I do think, though, that Cody just has a way of bringing people together. And if there is someone that can find a way to get the team to operate as a unit, it is Cody Rhodes. It'll be interesting to see. Look, it's not about Cody. I'm not be smirching Cody. You know, I put my ones up for my tribal chief. You know, I've been a CM Punk fan forever. You know, I've been on the, you know, just celebrating Jey Uso from the beginning.

13:20All year long, I've been advocating for that guy. It's just about, you know, mixing the wrong ingredients together and you accidentally blow up the lab. It does feel like Brock Lesnar is in a position for everybody else to say yes to him. Yeah, and you don't think Logan Paul is going to do that? That's what I think that Logan Paul and Paul Heyman relate the most on. Logan Paul is a survivor. Paul Heyman is a survivor. Listen, speaking of survivors, we got to talk about a lot at Survivor Series. Dominic Mysterio is about ready to join us. But I want to tell you, as we get closer to this Dominic Mysterio-John Cena match, you can represent your favorite superstar right now going into Survivor Series.

14:05Dominic Mysterio just dropped one, I'm sorry, two, two new tees, including the King of the Luchadores design. You can grab yours now. Oh, look how good these t-shirts look. You can grab yours now at WWE Shop and Fanatics as we get ready for Survivor Series, his clash with John Cena. And speaking of John Cena, this is his final P-L-E. It's the last one for John Cena. You can go to WWE Shop and Fanatics and check out his Survivor Series collection right now. This is as historic as you get on this farewell tour. where he's got the socks, the shirts, the hats, the towels, the everything. San Diego colors, and it really is.

14:52It's the last PLE for John Cena. It's the last Survivor Series for John Cena. He walks in the Intercontinental Champion, and he defends against Dominic Mysterio, who I think we are ready to be joined by. Dominic Mysterio is here. Welcome, Dominic. How are you, first of all? Good, good. It's good to see you. Thank you, Sam. Thank you. Megan. Hi, Dom. How are you doing? I'm doing well. It's always a pleasure to have you on our show. That's nice. Likewise. I always enjoy being here. That's nice. Dominic, you are about to have the second to last match with John Cena in John Cena's entire career. When you think about how big this match is, do you feel like John Cena has to be nervous walking in?

15:51I mean, of course. Right. He's facing the greatest Mysterio of all time. The greatest AAA mega campeon. Greatest former going to be and new intercontinental champion in my hometown in San Diego. I mean, he should be nervous. Last time we were in, like I said, we were in his hometown, Boston. He had Triple H and management on his side, giving him everything he wants, like his whole career. So I'm excited to finally have somewhat of an advantage this time, which is home field advantage. Is there any part of you that has thought about what a big match this is for you? The fact that there's, you know, I mean, there's while all this is happening, there's 16 of the best superstars in wrestling, not just in WWE.

16:39all competing just for the privilege to have John Cena's last match. And the one match before that one is the one that you're walking into. Dominic Mysterio, the person who, let's be honest, years ago, maybe not everybody had all the faith in the world in. Years ago, maybe people didn't see the vision. And now all of a sudden you're walking into John Cena's second to last match in your hometown at the acceptance of John Cena. When you reflect upon that, when you look at this moment for you, what do you think? I think I have come a long way. And in fact, I'm going to say five years in my wrestling debut, 20 year overall career.

17:32Right. um but at the end of the day this is just another saturday for me i've i've main evented survivor series before so this is this is just another day in san diego california so i'm gonna wake up i'm gonna have me a california burrito from probably from ortiz's taco shop uh maybe even have a midday snack some in and out burger maybe some chicken tendies you know i might save the tendies for the celebration afterwards but you know at the end of the day like i said this is this is just another saturday for me john should be thankful that i was i was willing to you know make the end of his career meaningful to give him the opportunity to become a grand slam champion and honestly i didn't even give him the opportunity it was handed to him so i'm just uh i'm very very lucky that I was able to get a rematch because you know management loves some John Cena it's interesting to hear you say it's just a regular Saturday because I was reflecting back on your five-year career thinking that this is the biggest match of your career on Saturday uh I don't know maybe I mean I've I've had four WrestleManias already right wow this wrestle this this last wrestlemania i won the ic title oh wow correct yeah um so i i've won the triple mega campeonato that was a pretty big deal that's huge um nxt north american championship twice wow so you know um i don't know i would say i would definitely rank this up there i don't know if it's the most important, but.

19:18You hear, I mean, you hear horror stories from pro wrestlers all the time. There's no part of you that like, if you walk in to a big match that will no doubt be physical because we talked to John Cena on Raw Recap in Madison Square Garden and we were talking about the high level of matches that he's having right now. I think a higher level than anybody thought even maybe possible at this stage in his career. And the physicality involved in those matches, You don't think that, you know, I mean, sometimes your gear is all white walking into a match with a gut full of breakfast burrito and in and out burger.

19:52There's no like your your's your digestive system is so strong that that's not an issue. Brother, I am a rock. I am. I am. I am. I am built like I can't. I don't know. I'm built like a shit brick house. Yeah. I I nothing phases me I have an iron stomach so I'm not I'm not even worried about it I'm I'm ready to walk in handle business put the the final nail in uh in Sina's coffin and walk out and new two-time intercontinental champion I mean what do you think of of of your dad. It feels to me like Ray Mysterio, your dad. First of all, actually, before we get into your dad and what he's doing right now, you were on first take recently.

20:49And I mean, and look, shame on the journalists for not doing their job. But when you pointed out the blatant child abuse that happened on Monday Night Raw, I don't know that I've ever seen first take stammering and looking for something to say more so than when you said, I mean, my dad kicked me. That's child abuse. That's not good, is it? I didn't know where to go after that. You know, dirty dom's got to keep you on your toes. If you don't, if you don't know what you're doing, you know, you gotta, you gotta figure it out. And, and she, she saw it. I don't know why she was acting like it wasn't like there the clip was there of him blatantly kicking me what what am i his alleged son alleged so a deadbeat hitting alleged son right what is that child abuse right one plus one equals two correct here we are so right it seemed like it seemed i don't know she seemed to be shocked by this i don't know she was definitely uh shooketh by by this whole situation and I was happy about that you know these reporters go into these wrestling interviews thinking it's oh it's fun wrestling stuff it's like we're doing serious stuff here we're doing serious stuff and you're gonna have to you're gonna have to deal with the fact that sometimes you're gonna end up shooketh if you if you ask the tough questions and she you know I answered it and she just she was not prepared no but she was a witness firsthand witness there was millions of people that saw firsthand child abuse that night and cheered for it yeah there's a lot of people for it and i think megan cheered for it that's disgusting i mean do we do we classify you as a child now wow well at the end of the day megan if someone has uh a baby right and that baby happens to grow up at the end of the day it's still their child correct that's correct as a So then what would happen if that alleged father hit alleged son?

22:56What would that be? Please answer that for me. Go ahead. What would it be? Child abuse. Yeah. That would be child abuse. Thank you. Yes. There it is. Do you think John Cena watched your segment on Monday Night Raw where a smaller version of John Cena came out and you beat him up for a while? I definitely, I hope John saw that Spartan kick to little John because he deserved it. You know, we have me and me and little John had a plan backstage. He did not. He got a little excited out there and he went off script, off the plan. So as the king of the luchadors, I had to put him in his place. Had to let him know who was boss.

23:47I get it. I mean, there are documentary scenes of wrestlers watching themselves portrayed as much smaller than they actually are in real life and how disrespectful that is to the core of people. I mean, was there any part of you that when this might be a little too far? Do you think that was disrespectful? Personally, the way I saw it, I thought, you know, Cena's retirement tour, let me pay homage towards him, right? and everything that he's done oh so and in that way i was trying to recreate you know one of the greatest you know wrestling promos ever which was when i interrupted him in madison square garden ever so so greatest i love all time i loved it if not i i'll be humble top three so wow i thought I thought you know let me pay homage to this I thought Cena would love this you know he would love if someone portrayed him and Cena you know being a thespian he uh I'm sure he loved that thespians would love stuff like that and it was not I mean we've seen all these like memories of John Cena's career I'm sure he was waiting going like well why hasn't anybody reenacted one of the greatest It was last week because it was last week.

25:14Well, you're welcome. You got to move fast when history happens. You do. Oh, well, you know, speaking of respect and of John Cena's career, the greatest of all time. Is there any part of you that enters this match growing up a lifelong wrestling fan with a little bit of nostalgia, considering that this is one of two matches that John Cena has left? I mean, let's be honest. your father had a pretty storied rivalry with John early in his career. Eddie Guerrero had that parking lot brawl. Yeah, the parking lot brawl. Yeah, you know. I remember that. Well, the one thing I'm going to say to John Cena is, he better be ready for Survivor Series this Saturday, because I'm going to rock him so hard, he's going to call me Maya Villa.

26:04That's sick, dude. That's sick. That's so sick. If he knows, you know. Yeah. Oh, I know. I know. Let me ask you this. Why do you think at a point I was sitting here on the public airwaves and I was saying the way these crowds react to Dominic Mysterio? I mean, they're cheering him. I said they used to not let him talk. Now they cheer him everywhere he goes. unfortunately it seems like in the last few weeks ever since you got involved with john cena the wwe audiences are back to not letting you hablar what do you think the the the change has been with these wwe fans i think at the end of the day the fans feel sympathetic right towards the elderly so when they see when they see john cena come out they're like wow i can't believe someone was able to check him out of his home and bring him out here bring him out here safely to the arenas um without him you know breaking anything or like getting hurt because he's so fragile so i'm just i'm excited for for the fans to be able to to experience that so i'm sure they're excited as well so they they every time they see john cena they're like wow we don't know if this is gonna be the last time because you know at 75 years old at any point in time you just you know he's 75 i don't know give it a googs i'm not sure well we'll goog it later but i'm gonna take your word for it you are the greatest mysterio of all time uh i don't lie i'm not good with numbers but i don't lie i believe you he's pretty good at hubblaring i believe you no i mean when they let him when they let it's not you and does megan still have to be here for this whole thing they it's yeah i don't know it wasn't my my call personally but you know so so i also requested Becky Lynch for this segment, but Sam over - I'm sure you did.

27:58Becky's probably out looking for Adam Pearce. That's right. She should be. I don't blame her. If I saw Adam Pearce too, I'd be upset to have to look at his face. Wow, that's rough. That's rough for Adam. Well, Dominic. He's rough. He is. Dominic, I can't wait for Survivor Series. I can't wait to see this happen. I don't think that anybody thought, not only Dominic, do you get the second to last match with John Cena, you get the last PLE match with John Cena. And I don't think anybody saw it coming that with four appearances left, three of those four would tell the story of a rivalry and that rivalry is Dominic Mysterio versus John Cena.

28:41But if they weren't underestimating you, what would they be doing? Congratulations, Dominic. I can't wait for Saturday. I can't wait. It can't come soon enough. Sam, I always appreciate you Megan Keep doing you Thanks Dom Like the neck tattoo Thanks So thanks to Dominic Mysterio By the way, last week I don't know if I told you guys this WWE announced an exciting collaboration With Topps, Complex, and Bape To celebrate this year's Survivor Series I am so excited about this One of the highlights of the collab is a 2025 Topps WWE Bape crossover. It's a new product merging the worlds of streetwear, trading cards, and sports entertainment, showcasing WWE's best and brightest, framed in Bape's iconic camo and reimagined in the signature Baby Milo style.

29:40Each box contains five premium trading cards and offers a chance at limited edition box variations, striking parallels and even superstar autos boxes will be available on wwe shop and complex.com on friday november 28th fans can also find boxes available on site at survivor series this weekend and in vape stores worldwide starting in december very very exciting um but megan speaking of exciting are you ready and it's it's exciting in a different way because i mean if you let your mind go emotional i can't believe this is john cena's last ple i mean i remember him making that announcement you know in 2024 and me going like oh i thought i was gonna get real sad we got a whole year of john cena but we have john cena's last ple saturday at survivor series that is crazy it hasn't really sunk in right and i think one of the reasons why is because cena has continued to make history i mean he's walking into survivor series as the intercontinental champion grand slam winner and now he's going against dominic mysterio in his hometown oh yeah i'm so curious to see how the crowd is going to react i'll make a prediction I think John Cena gets cheered walking in.

31:15Dominic Mysterio gets booed walking in. But just kind of throughout the match, you just hear those dirty, dirty, dumb. Dirty, dirty, dumb. It's so hard not to do. I know. But I mean, John Cena's first pay-per-view was Vengeance in 2002. 2002. He was brand new on the scene, wrestled Chris Jericho. And here we are decades later in 2025, where John Cena is the top guy of all times. He is, I don't, I mean, I would think the undisputed goat, you know, I mean, we could have a more serious conversation about that but i would truly agree that he's the undisputed goat um and he goes in he's got two matches left he's got one ple left and this is it now let me ask you this question with your dominic mysterio bias put aside for once in your you know me yeah you want me to put my dominic mysterio bias aside your anti-dominic mysterio bias okay yeah you've been acting from a place without journalistic integrity for Dominic Mysterio for a long time.

32:33And that's okay. It's who you are. But if you could finally put that, the Dom hate, I'll just say that aside for a moment, I believe that there is a chance because there's only two matches left. And one of them is against Dominic Mysterio. In Dominic Mysterio's hometown with Dominic Mysterio's title on the line. John Cena's been holding it. I'll give him that. He's defined the intercontinental title for a generation. For a generation? At least. How about Seth Rollins? How about Gunter? They also held the title. I think Dominic Mysterio has defined the intercontinental title for a generation. Can you imagine if John Cena loses at Survivor Series, and he very well might, because that's Dominic Mysterio we're talking about, and he doesn't beat whoever wins the tournament, we may have already seen John Cena's last victory in the WWE.

33:28That's crazy. It's very hard to digest, right? Yeah. It's hard to digest the fact that this is his last premium live event. It's hard to wrap your head around the fact that we have two John Cena matches ever left. So tough. And then you add the layer that we might never see John Cena win again. All I want to do is cheer for John Cena. All I want to do is cheer after a John Cena victory. And John Cena also has taken pride in the fact that he's wrestled every single year since he started. at least one match every single year since he started. I'm not ready for 2026. I don't know if I'm ready for Survivor Series.

34:05It's one of those things where you have this Christmas present that somebody put under the tree on the 12th of December, and you've been looking at this present, and you know it's something good, and you cannot wait. And it's coming, but it was there early, so it's been a long time, and you've just been thinking about it and thinking about it. And then you wake up Christmas morning, And you're like, I don't know if I'm ready to open this. I don't know if I'm ready for this to be done. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's. To be really the industry changed forever. That's right. The industry will be changed forever when John Cena is no longer a part of it.

34:41And I mean, you know, there's 16 WWE superstars competing for the right to have John Cena's final match. This being his second to last match. That is a massive moment. moment. All kidding aside, that is a massive moment for Dominic Mysterio. I mean, this is huge. I mean, we talk about WrestleMania when he won the Intercontinental Championship. That was a historic moment for Dom. Okay. He won the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania. He wrestled his dad at WrestleMania. He was put in the trusted position of having Logan Paul's first match at WrestleMania. He has had so many moments. Is this the biggest match of Dominic Mysterio's career?

35:25Yes. Yes. Woo! I am just curious if Dominic wins, if he is going to once again claim to be the greatest intercontinental champion of all time because I think he did that maybe 15 seconds after winning it at WrestleMania. We interviewed him. Right. And he was already claiming to be the greatest intercontinental champion of all time. But imagine if you beat the GOAT for the intercontinental title. Then, not only is he the greatest intercontinental champion of all time. He might be the GOAT too. He's also the second greatest intercontinental champion of all time. Because that was the first reign.

36:06You see what I'm saying? The only thing better than that first reign could potentially be this reign. Which is massive. That's a huge, huge step. That's a big feather in the cap for Team Doms over there like you. That's right. Nobody's ever taken up both spots like that. And that could be massive. We'll see for Dominic Mysterio. Or is there something to the idea that John Cena retains and defends that Intercontinental title against the winner of the tournament? He could. I think a lot of people are looking at that as a wrinkle in that tournament. That not only could somebody beat John Cena, but then also become the Intercontinental champion and be the Intercontinental Champion that beat John Cena on the way out, that's massive.
