John Cena has had an amazing retirement tour, and it is closing in on its final day, which is set for December 13th, at Saturday Night's Main Event. He has done almost everything that was possible for him during this retirement tour. He won the men's Elimination Chamber match, he won his record breaking 17th World Championship, and he even turned the heel for the first time in 21 years.
The only thing that was remaining was becoming a Grand Slam champion. He worked as a mid card during his early career, and he won the WWE United States Championship a number of times. Since he was exclusive to SmackDown during his early career and WWE was conducting a hard split, he did not get to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, as SmackDown only had the United States Championship.
John Cena set a new record on RAW last Monday
From 2005, he started working as a main eventer he never looked back. He did win the WWE United States Championship even after becoming a main eventer, but surprisingly, he never got the opportunity to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and it was the only thing that was preventing him from becoming a WWE Grand Slam Champion.
John Cena is now a WWE Grand Slam Champion
After achieving almost everything during his retirement tour, he only had one thing left, and that was becoming a WWE Grand Slam Champion. In order to do that, he needed to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. So WWE officials decided to give him the Intercontinental Championship, and history was made last week on Monday Night RAW.
He took the longest time to become a Grand Slam champion in WWE
Cena defeated Dominic Mysterio to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship on RAW, and history was finally made. There was nothing that Cena could not achieve in his professional wrestling career. No wrestling career could be as complete as the career of John Cena.
He also set a unique record by winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship on RAW. It took him the longest time period to become a WWE Grand Slam Champion, which was 7911 days. Dean Ambrose is the wrestler who holds the record of winning the Grand Slam champion in the shortest time period, which is 1154 days. Cena now justifies his latest nickname, the Greatest of All Time.
