John Cena is finally a Grand Slam Champion after winning the Intercontinental Title from Dominik Mysterio on the November 10, 2025 episode of Raw, kicking off the “Last Time Is Now” tournament and setting the stage for his final run.

In this episode of the Basement Bookers Podcast, BasementJer and RichTheRiz break down:

John Cena’s IC Title win over Dominik Mysterio, what it means for his legacy, and how the Last Time Is Now tournament could shape his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event

Chelsea Green becoming the first 2x Women’s United States Champion, what that title change says about Julia’s push, and the state of women’s midcard belts on Raw & SmackDown

Nikki Bella’s heel turn on Stephanie Vaquer, why “Nasty Nikki” actually rules, and how it feeds directly into the Women’s World Title picture heading toward WarGames

The build to Survivor Series WarGames: Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Jey Uso vs The Vision & Logan Paul, plus wild speculation on who fills out both WarGames teams

LA Knight’s weird booking, Jey Uso’s “flash in the pan?” energy, Rusev, Sheamus, Ilja Dragunov and who feels like the real workhorse champions right now

Plus: Jer’s Disney World/Florida travel saga — Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, the Guardians of the Galaxy coaster at EPCOT, a Zootopia 4D experience, and a full-on rant about TSA, crowds, and goats doing… goat things.

BasementJer & the Rizzest Baldest Man break down WWE RAW: why the Rhea Ripley/IYO SKY opener didn’t land, the Roman–Jey Bloodline reset, Seth Rollins’ shaky “Vision,” and the direction of John Cena’s farewell run (AJ, Brock, GUNTHER?).

BasementJer and RichTheRiz break down Wrestlepalooza 2025—the highs, lows, and the “very mid” moments. We open with overall impressions, then dive into John Cena vs Brock Lesnar (short and undercooked), the Usos vs The 2 Brons with LA Knight as special ref, Stephanie Vaquer vs IYO SKY (best pure wrestling on the card), the mixed tag (Seth Rollins & Becky vs AJ Lee & CM Punk), and the main event: Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre (good match, weird ref call). We also hit NXT fallout (new champ, title retentions) and the teased AJ Styles vs John Cena direction.

👊 Grades: Jer (6/10), Riz (4/10).
