Big E thinks last night’s RAW will be remembered when Dominik Mysterio becomes world champion.
Last night’s edition of Monday Night RAW opened with John Cena appearing in Boston for the very last time. During his segment, the 17-time world champion was interrupted by Dominik Mysterio, and the two exchanged a war of words before a match was made between them for later that night. Ultimately, it was Cena who ticked off the one title and became a grand slam champion, though a former WWE Tag Team Champion has admired how Mysterio didn’t back down when he went face to face with the legend.
On the RAW Recap, Big E said Dominik Mysterio’s interaction with John Cena will be remembered when he becomes a world champion.
“One of the big markers was seeing him face-to-face with John Cena. I didn’t see one iota of trepidation on Dom’s face. I didn’t see a second of, ‘Is this moment too big?’ I saw a dude who thought, ‘Not only do I deserve to be here, but I’m better than you. And I’m going to prove that in all aspects.’ And he didn’t get the job done, but I love this for Dom. I think this is going to be a moment that we look back on when Dom is a World Champion, a year, two years from now, whenever that time comes. I think we’ll look back at pivotal moments in his career, his ascension to that top spot. And I think we’ll look at this as a great moment in his career.”

Mysterio’s reign with the Intercontinental Championship clocked in at 204 days, the longest since GUNTHER’s stunning 666-day reign which ended at WrestleMania 40. Attention now turns to how The Judgment Day member will recoup from his loss at the TD Garden, though it’s certainly worth noting that he remains the current AAA Mega Champion.
Speaking of ‘The Ring General’, reports indicate that he’s likely to be John Cena’s final opponent, although whether the Intercontinental Championship plays a role in the icon’s final match relies on how his reign unfolds.
Elsewhere on the RAW Recap, Big E praises Lash Legend, saying her arrival on the main roster is long overdue. You can read more about that here.
