The latest episode of WWE RAW marked John Cena's final appearance on the Monday night show as an in-ring competitor. The new Intercontinental Champion was interrupted by the man he dethroned for the title last week: Dominik Mysterio. "Dirty" Dom demanded a rematch, which Cena was willing to give him right then and there.

However, the young Mysterio demanded a title shot in his hometown of San Diego, California, at Survivor Series: WarGames, which The GOAT agreed to. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh came out and joined Dominik as the trio launched an attack on Cena before Sheamus and Rey Mysterio made the save.

This led to The Franchise Player teaming up with The Celtic Warrior and The Master of 619 to defeat The Judgment Day in a six-man tag team match. That said, the bout between Cena and Dominik at Survivor Series could end on a shocking note, as Rey Mysterio could turn to the dark side and help his son regain the IC Title.

The WWE Hall of Famer returned from an injury two weeks ago and confronted then-Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio. It seemed like the father-son duo would collide at the upcoming premium live event with the IC Championship on the line.

However, the 28-year-old's reign came to an abrupt end last week, courtesy of John Cena. While Rey seems to be friendly with The Cenation Leader, there may be underlying tension. The Master of 619 may hold a grudge against Cena for stealing a potential title match between him and Dominik in their hometown.

To exact revenge against The GOAT, Rey could cost him the bout against Dominik at Survivor Series: WarGames, turning heel and reuniting with his son. That said, this scenario is only speculative at this point.

Survivor Series: WarGames will mark John Cena's last appearance at a WWE Premium Live Event

After the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, John Cena has only two appearances left in his retirement tour. His next appearance will be at Survivor Series: WarGames, which will be his last WWE Premium Live Event appearance.

The Cenation Leader will have his final match at Saturday Night's Main Event XLII on December 13. The Last Time is Now Tournament is underway to determine Cena's last opponent.

With The GOAT hanging up his wrestling boots in less than a month, he will likely drop the Intercontinental Championship in one of his remaining two appearances. Since the upcoming PLE is set to take place in Mysterio's hometown of San Diego, California, it could see a title change, as Cena could drop the prestigious title back to "Dirty" Dom.

It will be interesting to see how John Cena's final two appearances play out.
