Dominik Mysterio Reacts to Losing the Intercontinental Championship to John Cena – John Cena made history on this week’s episode of WWE RAW from Boston, Massachusetts, capturing the Intercontinental Championship for the first time in his career. The win not only marked a monumental moment for Cena but also completed his journey to becoming a Grand Slam Champion — the final accolade that had long eluded him.
For Dominik Mysterio, however, the moment was bittersweet. After holding the Intercontinental Title for 204 days, Mysterio’s reign came to an end at the hands of one of WWE’s all-time greats. Following his loss, the former champion took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a somber reaction — a gif from Johnny Cash’s haunting rendition of “Hurt.” The post, which included the lyric “I hurt myself today,” hinted at Mysterio’s regret and self-reflection after the title defeat.
Mysterio captured the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 in a Fatal Four-Way Match, defeating Bron Breakker, Penta, and Finn Bálor to claim the gold. Since then, he had successfully defended the title across multiple premium live events, establishing himself as one of RAW’s top young stars. His loss to Cena not only ended his impressive run but also shifted momentum in a major way heading into the final stretch of 2025.
Despite the setback, Mysterio remains an active champion elsewhere. He continues to hold the AAA Mega Championship, keeping his international profile strong even after dropping the WWE title. Whether his emotional reaction leads to a redemption story or a deeper spiral remains to be seen, but one thing is certain — Dominik Mysterio’s rivalry with John Cena has already cemented its place as one of the year’s defining storylines.
