'John doesn't have to — he's John Cena, you know? He's the biggest, if not the biggest, movie star in the world, along with the biggest wrestler currently in the world. And for him to say those things about me, it's just really cool to see.' During the interview, claimed that Cena was among the first well-known celebrities he collaborated with following the pandemic's conclusion, partnering alongside him and his father, Rey Mysterio, against Roman Reigns and The Usos.

Dominik Mysterio On Winning the IC Title, John Cena, CM Punk, India Trip, Rhea Ripley Tattoos & More 'Especially because, like, you know, I started with him when the pandemic ended, and we had live crowds back. Like, he was the guy that was there for me with the tag matches, giving me advice as a good guy — we were both baby faces at that time,' he added. He also recalled the time when he turned heel for the first, and how Cena had seen the transformation and his entire journey till date 'But the fact that Cena was able to see me from that beginning to then, like, a couple of months later when he came back — maybe a year or two later when he came back — I was a bad guy then, and I got to wrestle him in a dark match. So, he's seen me through this whole process and what I've gone through,' he explained. Moreover, he added how Cena has been a childhood inspiration to him and how he has followed him since because of his childhood connection with the World Champion.

Before I jumped in the showers, I always had to listen to music or have a speaker on — I'd play his CD. It was signed for me. Like, I was a Cena mark, you know? But at the end of the day, it's really cool to hear that from a guy like that.'

WWE Raw Results, Winners And Grades On March 24, 2025 From Glasgow
CM Punk appears live on Raw Glasgow. WWE Raw from Glasgow, Scotland advertised Week 2 of Heel John Cena, with Cena and Cody Rhodes once again in the same building. Raw also advertised Lyra Valkyria vs. Raquel Rodriguez for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, Bron Breakker vs. Penta for the IC Title and an appearance by CM Punk. John Cena derided WWE fans for liking the viral video of Cena insulting that child last week in Brussels. He called them out for their hypocrisy in liking his heel antics despite still turning on him. John Cena battled chants of 'F-U Cena' and 'Shut the F Up.' Heel John Cena said he's been preparing for their 'stupid, childish curse-written nursery rhymes.' Cena said fans make this so simple. He said when he bled, they thought he was tough; when he was loyal they thought he was vanilla. While battling 'what chants,' Cena said when he speaks in rhythmic tones, they say 'what?!' He was toying with them at this point. Heel Cena defended the Spinner Championship, which the Glasgow crowd booed heavily. Cena went on to say he was going to ruin wrestling for every fan, every wrestler and for everyone. But when Cena vowed to win a 17th championship, there were some cheers mixed in with the boo's. Cena then said he will win the championship and retire with it. Cena called himself 'the last real champion' in WWE. This is a great heel gimmick. Cody Rhodes interrupted to another massive reaction. Cody dared Cena to take the WWE Championship after laying it in front of him. As Rhodes ripped off his tie, fans cheered. Cena refused to take the title, and instead stormed off. Cena teased coming back, then stormed off again to even louder boos. Jey Uso's 'mystery tag team partner' was an Usos reunion with his brother Jimmy, which was awesome to see. Both Theory and Waller looked more shredded than ever this WrestleMania season. Hopefully he and Theory get rewarded for their hard work with at least a WrestleMania match against each other one year in the making. It was noteworthy that WWE went to commercial break multiple times in the first hour, only to immediately come back from commercial. A-Town Down Under got a ton of offense on the Usos. After a missed Shrek-inspired elbow-drop from Waller, the Uso's comeback started with an alley-oop Samoan Drop, followed by an alley-oop Spear and a 1D for the win. After the match, GUNTHER tossed Jimmy aside and took a beating from Jey. Jey tripped while going for the Spear (which may or may not have been intentional), and GUNTHER caught him and reigned down with elbow strikes. Jimmy ran GUNTHER off with a chair and consoled his brother. After the match, Jimmy continued to console his brother backstage. Jey is in his head. Jimmy then challenged GUNTHER to a match next week before slapping the hell out of GUNTHER. There was a historically hilarious video package for El Grande Americano that has to be seen to be believed. As the colonial favorite, this is the most over Lyra has been in her young WWE career. The match started off with Rodriguez emphasizing her size, throwing Valkyria around like a ragdoll. WWE Raw: Glasgow took its first proper commercial break by the end of the first hour, but not before Raquel kicked the hell out of Liv Morgan. During a nearfall, Liv Morgan put Rodriguez's foot on the rope right in front of the referee. The referee (Jessika Carr) had to act like she didn't see it. Lyra won after taking out Liv with a dropkick and rolling up Rodriguez. After the match, Bayley hit the ring to even the odds. Adam Pearce attempted a second physical contract signing since Rhea crashed last week's signing. WWE signed a $5 billion contract with Netflix, but they don't have DocuSign? Rhea Ripley may have successfully complained her way to a WrestleMania spot. She will get a WWE Women's World Title shot next week against Iyo Sky, but Bianca Belair will be the special guest referee. As per usual, WWE's international fanbase booed Bianca Belair, despite Belair doing nothing wrong throughout this entire build but earning a world title shot. El Grande Americano was clearly Chad Gable in a mask, with fringes. His theme music was a Mariachi version of one of the most patriotic American theme songs that nobody knows the name of. Gable had previously claimed he was under the weather, and could not compete tonight. Michael Cole said he couldn't find anything about El Grande Americano on Google. Clearly he has not been on Google in the past hour, because the video package for El Grande Americano had gone viral by then. Fans chanted 'Ole' for Grande Americano. This gimmick will go crazy in the states. There was a scary spot before break where Americano hit a release suplex on Dragon Lee off the apron. Lee almost landed on his neck. As fans were chanting 'this is awesome," Americano pulled Lee's mask off and slapped on the Ankle Lock for the win. I love this character. CM Punk said Roman Reigns' wiseman 'isn't just his wiseman.' Punk said there would be a contract signing on SmackDown. Fans booed, and Punk acknowledged the boo's by saying it was because they wanted it in Glasgow. But that's why Punk was in Glasgow, because he cared. Punk quoted a famous Bill Cosby line by saying he brought Seth Rollins into this business, and he can take him out. This was similar to Seth Rollins' segment last week where a big star made a token appearance to plug a SmackDown segment after saying little else. Before the match, Cathy Kelly teased the seemingly ludicrous idea that Penta could join the Judgment Day, who appeared ringside. Glasgow was unanimously behind Penta, but Bron Breakker dominated early. The contest was much more even by the time WWE came back from break, with dueling chants of 'let's go Penta' mixed in with barking. Penta countered a Breakker Fireman's carry with a Backstabber, which was Carlito's old move. The main event resulted in a DQ after Dominik Mysterio attacked Bron Breakker. Finn Balor came out of nowhere with a steel chair to Breakker as Bron was fighting back. Dom gave the chair to Penta, who had just been screwed out of an IC title. Dom's character really doesn't think things through. He got super kicked for his troubles. The Judgment Day ultimately laid out both Penta and Breakker as Raw went off the air.
