WWE legend John Cena has officially completed the prestigious WWE Grand Slam , securing the one accolade that had eluded him for over two decades. On 10 November , Cena captured the Intercontinental Championship by defeating Dominik Mysterio on RAW in his hometown of Boston. The moment arrives just weeks before he concludes his farewell tour, marking a symbolic and emotional milestone in his celebrated career.

A Landmark Victory in Boston

The Intercontinental Championship win holds special significance, not just because it completes the Grand Slam, but because it took place in front of a home-crowd audience. Despite a career packed with world titles, marquee rivalries, and main-event moments, Cena had never held the Intercontinental title. WWE’s creative direction kept him primarily in the world-title scene or high-profile storylines, reducing opportunities for a run with the workhorse championship.

Why the Grand Slam Eluded Him

Throughout the 2000s, Cena was associated heavily with the United States Championship , where he elevated the belt through iconic feuds and later revived interest with the acclaimed US Open Challenge . His role as WWE’s central figure meant Intercontinental Championship pursuits were rare, leaving a surprising gap in his decorated résumé—until now.

The Final Stretch of His Career

Cena’s farewell tour is nearing its conclusion. He is scheduled for three final appearances:

• 17 November at Madison Square Garden

• Survivor Series

• Final match on 13 December at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event in Washington, D.C.

His final challenger will be determined through the ongoing “The Last Time is Now” tournament.

A Fitting Final Chapter

Cena’s Grand Slam triumph cements his legacy as one of WWE’s most accomplished and influential performers, giving fans a historic moment as he prepares to exit the ring.
