Tonight’s episode of Raw will emanate from the iconic MSG.

Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Multiple big names, including John Cena, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, and Jey Uso, are advertised for the show. 

The promotion has announced multiple matches and segments for the show, including two more first-round matches in the tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent. Cena is set to kick off the show, while Becky Lynch will defend the Intercontinental title against Maxxine Dupri.

The show is highly anticipated by fans, as it will be a major factor in setting the stage for Survivor Series: WarGames.

Will Roman Reigns & Brock Lesnar return tonight?

The men’s WarGames team started to take shape last week, on the babyface team consisting of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, & The Usos (Jey & Jimmy Uso), while the heel team, led by Paul Heyman, consists of The Vision’s Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre.

Both teams are one teammate short ahead of the Survivor Series PLE, which is set for November 29, 2025, at Petco Park in San Diego, California. 

Earlier reports suggested Roman Reigns joining the babyface team while Brock Lesnar teaming up with the Vision to help his old friend, Paul Heyman. However, new reports suggested concern about putting Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

Notably, fans started chanting “OTC” during the final moments of SmackDown when Drew McIntyre joined the Vision and started beating down the babyface team. Many fans are speculating that the two will make their return tonight to join their respective teams.

While the reported concern could spoil the party for fans, and WWE would have to replace him with a star of similar stature, likely John Cena. On the other hand, Lesnar‘s involvement makes sense, given his history with Paul Heyman.

Although if WWE is planning for multiple returns tonight, they might save Lesnar for the go-home show to capitalize on the drama. On the other hand, all signs point to Reigns’ return as the heel team got the best of the babyface team, and they might want some payback.

Reigns has made similar returns recently, saving the day against the heels, and could make a similar return tonight at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

With only two episodes of Raw and SmackDown, WWE will have to pick up the pace for the PLE. As expected from these potential returns, they also have to announce matches for the PLE as only the two WarGames matches have been officially confirmed.

When and where will the November 17, 2025, episode of Raw take place?

The November 17 episode of WWE Raw is set to air live from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

Will John Cena wrestle in his final Raw appearance?

Yes, Netflix has officially confirmed that John Cena will wrestle in his final appearance, and Cena himself has tweeted hyping up the match, calling it one of his favorite matches in his career.

What matches & segments have been announced for the show?

-Gunther vs Je’Von Evans – Last Time Is Now Tournament (First Round match)

-Solo Sikoa vs A Mystery Opponent – Last Time Is Now Tournament (First Round match)

-John Cena’s final Raw appearance

-Becky Lynch (c) vs Maxxinne Dupri – Women’s Intercontinental title match
