WWE’s Top Star Says the Current Moment Doesn’t Belong to John Cena

During an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Dominik Mysterio discussed his approach toward a potential WWE Championship victory, drawing a pointed contrast to his father Rey Mysterio’s experience with the title. The younger Mysterio highlighted Rey’s brief one-hour championship reign, which concluded with a loss to John Cena on an episode of RAW.

If I ever win [the WWE Championship], you can best believe I am on a car and I’m heading out. I’ve taken off. Ain’t nobody cashing in on me. No John Cena moment, nothing.

Meanwhile, John Cena advances toward WrestleMania 41 with an opportunity to qualify for the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event at Rogers Centre in Toronto on March 1.

Potential Character Evolution

Former WWE Superstar Matthew Rehwoldt explored the possibility of a character shift for John Cena during an appearance on the Rebooked Wrestling podcast.

But if he had a Stone Cold Steve Austin WrestleMania 17 moment of sorts [turning on the champion during the match]… We run through the summer with him as a big heel champion or something. I don’t see it, but I like it.

Cena continues filming ‘Matchbox’ in Budapest, Hungary, with his next scheduled WWE appearance set for the Elimination Chamber premium live event.
