Drew McIntyre Wants Cena in Perth – And He’s Calling Out the “Waste of Time” Heel Run by GerryPthaDJ
Published on Aug 11, 2025

Drew McIntyre ain’t sugarcoating a thing. When asked about John Cena’s so-called final run, Big Drew lit the mic on fire — calling that heel stretch a “waste of time” and making it crystal clear he wants a shot at this real version of Cena.
And he’s got a stage in mind: Perth, October. WWE is rolling heavy into Australia with a 3-night takeover — SmackDown, Raw, and Crown Jewel. Cena’s farewell tour is touching down there, and McIntyre says if the company’s looking for one of Cena’s last matches, he’s right here.

The Heel Run Heat Check
Let’s be real — Cena’s heel turn earlier this year was hyped like it was gonna shake the business. Instead, it fizzled. Critics, fans, even locker room voices called it half-baked. McIntyre ain’t wrong — six months of creative going nowhere? That’s not the send-off a 16-time champ deserves.

Why Perth Is the Perfect Stage
Global spotlight. Perth is getting a WWE weekend takeover — rare air.
Final chapter vibes. Cena’s last lap needs a clean finish, not a gimmick mess.
Star vs. Star. McIntyre has the size, skill, and presence to make it feel like a generational passing of the torch… or a hard stop.

The Playbook for This Match
1. Torch Pass: McIntyre wins clean — legacy secured, new era stamped.
2. Go Out On Top: Cena wins and walks off into Hollywood sunset.
3. Controversy Sells: Interference or chaos to keep people talking — but risks déjà vu from that heel run flop.

Bottom line — McIntyre’s already done the callout. Perth’s got the lights. Cena’s got the name. WWE’s got the chance to book a real final fight that fans will remember for the right reasons.
Because in this game, you don’t get a redo on your last match.
