It was a run-in galore at Survivor Series as The Cenation Leader defended the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio. First, the referee ejected Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez for their interference. Later, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh also tried to interfere but were neutralized by Cena. However, Liv Morgan proved to be the difference maker as she kicked the star below the belt.

On a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer felt Cena needed to win his last match. He speculated that Gunther would be the 17-time World Champion's last opponent. The journalist explained that it would tarnish the legend's legacy if he lost his last two matches in a row. He felt WWE could easily switch the star's last opponent if they didn't want The Ring General to lose.

"I think now, John has to beat Gunther. Because he should not go out losing two in a row. If he lost here, then he's really (...) I don't know what's gonna happen in that match, but to me, if John was gonna lose here, he should beat Gunther, if it is Gunther. They can always switch. I mean, they haven't shown much of an inclination to do that, but they always can."
