John Cena will wrestle in his final Raw appearance.
The time has finally come for the 17-time World Champion John Cena to bid farewell to the Red brand locker room. Cena, after winning the Intercontinental title last week to become a Grand Slam Champion, is set for his final Raw appearance this Monday.
The upcoming November 17 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. The show is highly anticipated by fans, as it will be a major factor in setting the stage for Survivor Series: WarGames.
As announced by General Manager Adam Pearce on last week’s show, two additional first-round matchups for the Last Time is Now Tournament are set to take place this Monday. NXT’s Je’Von Evans is set to face a returning Gunther, while Solo Sikoa is set to battle a mystery opponent whose identity Pearce chose not to reveal.
As mentioned, the November 17 episode is set to be Cena’s final Raw appearance, with only two more appearances left before the G.O.A.T. hangs up his wrestling boots. Netflix has officially confirmed that John Cena will wrestle in his final appearance. Cena is set to kick off the broadcast in his final appearance.
Furthermore, Maxxine Dupri informed GM Adam Pearce that she’s ready to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title. Lynch will defend the championship against Dupri in what will be their third match in this rivalry.
Nikki Bella, during the recent episode of the Nikki and Brie Show, announced that she is going to explain the shocking turn on Stephanie Vaquer at Madison Square Garden this Monday. Bella turned on Vaquer, hitting her with the title, kicking off a feud between the two former friends.
