Matt Hardy Praises John Cena vs Dominik Mysterio as “True Essence of Pro Wrestling” – WWE legend and current TNA World Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy shared strong praise for the John Cena vs. Dominik Mysterio match from the November 10 episode of RAW, calling it a standout example of what professional wrestling is meant to be. Hardy posted his thoughts on X/Twitter, encouraging younger wrestlers and trainees to study the bout for what it accomplished in terms of audience connection and emotional engagement.
In his message, Hardy wrote, “For aspiring pro wrestlers.. Watch the John Cena vs Dominik Mysterio from RAW on Monday. That match represents the true essence of pro wrestling – Creating & maximizing emotional investment from your audience. THAT is what matters in excelling in the art pro wrestling, not star ratings or cagematch reviews.” His comment emphasized the idea that storytelling, character, and emotional impact are what elevate a match beyond technical scoring systems or online ratings.
The match in question was already an important moment within WWE. It marked John Cena’s final appearance as a wrestler in his hometown of Boston and carried major historical significance. Cena defeated Dominik Mysterio to win the Intercontinental Championship, the only championship he had never held in his WWE career. The victory officially completed his Grand Slam Championship achievement after more than two decades in the company.
Hardy’s praise highlights the broader response to the match, which has been noted for its atmosphere and for the way Cena’s journey resonated with the crowd. At the same time, Dominik Mysterio played a key role in helping elevate the moment, continuing the ongoing story between the two after their original singles match was initially expected for Survivor Series before being moved up to RAW.
