4 Challengers for new WWE Intercontinental Champion John Cena

John Cena is the new Intercontinental Champion of WWE. The Cenation Leader surprised the Boston crowd when he pinned Dominik Mysterio and emerged as the new champion. Now, since he has the mid-card title on his shoulders, new challengers are surely waiting for him.

In this article, we will discuss four challengers for the new IC Champion, John Cena, in the Stamford-based promotion.

#4. Austin Theory may return to challenge John Cena

Secret reason behind John Cena's massive win - Watch Here!

It's been a long time since Austin Theory has been present on WWE television. The A-Town Down had some heated segments with John Cena in the past, and it will make perfect sense if he returns to challenge the 17-time World Champion for his IC Title.

A return against John Cena could be a strong way to bring Theory back on television and put some spotlight on his comeback.

#3. El Grande Americano

Usually, El Grande Americano assisted Dominik Mysterio in his title reign, but the mask gang was notably absent on WWE RAW this week. So, to take revenge of the self-proclaimed King of Luchadors, El Grande Americano might challenge John Cena for the Intercontinental Championship.

Also, Dom Dom might attempt to repay the favor by helping the masked man dethrone the veteran as champion.

#2. Penta might step up for the WWE IC Championship

Penta has already made multiple attempts to win the IC Title from Dominik Mysterio, but has failed each time. Now, when the championship is shifted to John Cena's shoulder, the ex-AEW talent may confront Cena and emerge as his new challenger on Monday Night RAW.

A match between Penta and Cena is something no one expected to unfold in the farewell tour of the Franchise Player. Also, this move will be a boost for Penta, even if he suffers a loss.

#1. The Judgment Day might want the title back on WWE RAW

The loss of Dominik Mysterio to John Cena is expected to bring some turmoil in the Judgment Day faction. Finn Balor may mock Dom Dom for his loss, and eventually, this could lead to a match between Cena and the Judgment Day member.

However, Finn Balor or JD McDonagh might step in against the Franchise Player instead of Dominik. The ex-Universal Champion might sideline Dirty Dominik by stating that Dominik already had a mid-card title reign, and it's time for him or JD to shine on RAW by potentially dethroning Cena as the champion.
