"In John Cena's final performance in his hometown of Boston, he won the Intercontinental Championship -- in many ways the final piece of the puzzle to what many would call the most prolific career in WWE history. On a night with multiple title matches and a pair of title changes, fans got world champions fighting together on the same side, the official start of the 16-wrestler tournament to become Cena's final opponent and a surprise return at the end of the show to set up a Survivor Series: War Games match."
"With a win over "Dirty" Dom Mysterio, Cena completed WWE's Grand Slam -- winning each of the singles and tag team championships during a wrestling career. The crowd loved it. Dom's father, fellow WWE superstar Rey Mysterio, who feuded with his son on last week's episode, tweeted "LOL" in reaction to the loss. Cena went beat-for-beat with Dom's usual cheat-to-win antics. And Cena got to say, one more time in his hometown, "The champ is here.""
