Report On Updated John Cena WWE Survivor Series Plans, Possible WarGames Superteam

WWE

A new report revealed possibly the latest plans for John Cena at Survivor Series: WarGames ahead of his final appearance in his hometown of Boston on Monday’s episode of “WWE Raw.” According to Ibou of “Self Made” on an episode of “Self Made Sessions” ahead of the show, in addition to confirming BodySlam+’s report about Cena taking on Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio on the red brand, Cena is also reportedly set to be part of a WarGames team.

Ibou said he was informed Monday morning that Cena is going to be on “Team CM Punk” in WarGames, though the lineup for that team has reportedly been “in flux.” Some major WWE stars’ names were reportedly thrown around to make up the babyface team.

“I was told three months ago, around SummerSlam, that WWE wanted to sell tickets for Survivor Series, and were going to do that by putting Cody [Rhodes], Roman [Reigns], Punk, and Cena in one WarGames team,” he said. “I was told there would be a number of hurdles going into making that team.”

He said that he was told a month later that the Undisputed WWE Champion would not be in the match and that Rhodes was initially scheduled to defend his title at Survivor Series, though the belief was that he was going to do something with Jacob Fatu. “The Samoan Werewolf” is now on the shelf following a reported dental procedure. Rhodes has recently been feuding with Drew McIntyre, but according to Ibou, McIntyre is not scheduled for the show. Rhodes was also involved with Aleister Black on Friday’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” and Damian Priest, who has been feuding with Black, came to his aid.Â

Ibou confirmed that Rhodes is backstage at “Raw” on Monday night and was seen talking with a referee, but also confirmed that the champion has been backstage at “Raw” before and not been involved on the main show. There’s a possibility that he could be working a dark match. He also pondered a potential reason, backed by sources, about why Rhodes could be missing from the babyface WarGames team.

“There are people within WWE that believe that somebody involved does not want Roman and Cody to be on the same screen unless they can tease to a match that they’re going to deliver on,” Ibou said.

He noted there was concern with putting the men on screen together, causing fans to want to see another match between them, if it couldn’t happen. Ibou said that Reigns versus Cody is currently not scheduled and there are “a lot of hurdles there.”

As for Cena, Ibou said that the morning “Raw” rundown had him as the main event of Monday’s show, as well as the opener. He is reportedly set to challenge the younger Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship and his father, Rey Mysterio, will also reportedly be involved in the main event. Ibou noted that Dave Meltzer reported the Cena versus Dominik Mysterio match would happen at Survivo Series, but it is taking place Monday night.
