Survivor Series is around the corner, and Triple H is leaving no stone unturned to make it a memorable event. For the first time in history, the annual spectacle will see a stadium iteration in San Diego, California, and several blockbuster matches have been added to the card. WWE may be planning some major surprises and shockers, and one of those could be a huge title change.

John Cena will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series. This came as a huge surprise to the fans, as no one was anticipating a rematch when Cena had only two appearances left in his Farewell Tour. Fans were hoping to see a fresh match for The Cenation Leader at the upcoming premium live event.

However, WWE's decision to book a rematch raised eyebrows. The company wouldn't have pitted Dominik Mysterio against John Cena again unless there was a bigger plan in motion. WWE's art of subtlety is Triple H's signature. As Chief Content Officer, The Game keeps dropping Easter eggs for the fans, allowing them to read between the lines.

By announcing Cena vs. Mysterio for Survivor Series, Triple H may have subtly confirmed that the Intercontinental Championship will change hands at the event. There could be no other explanation as to why WWE booked this rematch when they had a wide range of match options for the 17-time World Champion.

Additionally, The Judgment Day member has emphasized this week on RAW that Survivor Series is taking place in his hometown of San Diego. The fact that Dominik Mysterio referenced this line in his promo might be another subtle clue that he would recapture his gold. Hence, the clock could actually be ticking on John Cena's title run.

Triple H may have another big reason behind causing a title change at Survivor Series

The recent developments of Monday Night RAW suggest that the Intercontinental Championship will change hands at the upcoming PLE. There are high chances of it happening in San Diego, California. However, there could be a logical reason behind Triple H taking the title away from John Cena.

The Last Real Champion has only two appearances left on his Farewell Tour, and his time in WWE is almost up. If the 48-year-old manages to retain his gold at Survivor Series, he would go on to carry that championship in his final match at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13.

This would make things quite predictable. Anyone familiar with WWE would easily decipher that John Cena would drop the Intercontinental Championship to his final opponent at SNME. However, Triple H may want to keep the outcome of Cena's final match unpredictable.

For that, WWE may take the title away from the equation at Survivor Series. The 17-time World Champion heading into his retirement match without a title would help the company keep things unpredictable to some extent.
