John Cena Addresses Judgment Day’s Women in Survivor Series Match Plan

John Cena has weighed in on the thinking behind involving the women’s side of The Judgment Day in his Intercontinental Championship match against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series 2025.

The title bout saw heavy interference and involvement from the Judgment Day’s female contingent throughout, a wrinkle that shaped much of how the match played out. Cena, who has been candid in recent months about the creative choices behind his final in-ring run, spoke about why he pushed for that group to be woven into the story surrounding his clash with Dominik.

The match itself was one of the more talked-about angles from Survivor Series 2025, with the Judgment Day’s dynamic — and Dominik’s standing within the faction — playing a central role in the build and the finish. Cena’s remarks add another layer of insight into how the veteran approached the creative side of his last act in WWE, a stretch of his career he’s discussed at length in various interviews since stepping away from full-time competition.

As Cena continues to reflect on the matches and storylines from his farewell tour, more details about the reasoning behind key decisions — like the one involving Judgment Day’s women — are likely to keep surfacing. For now, the comments offer fans another glimpse behind the curtain of a program that generated plenty of discussion when it aired.
