4. John Cena to reveal details about the John Cena Classic
John Cena will return to WWE programming for the first time since his Backlash 2026 appearance. The 17-time world champion previously announced the inaugural John Cena Classic during that show, and his November 2 appearance is expected to provide further details about the tournament.
The competition is expected to begin in December, although WWE has not yet revealed its complete format, participating Superstars, or schedule. Cena’s announcement could finally answer some of the questions surrounding the tournament.
With the former champion having retired from in-ring competition, his appearance will be particularly interesting for fans wondering how he plans to contribute to the Stamford-based promotion in this new chapter.

3. The Vision vs Penta, Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee
The Vision will face Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee in a six-man tag team match. The contest has major implications for the upcoming World Tag Team Championship match at Crown Jewel, where Penta and Evans are scheduled to challenge champions Bron Breakker and Austin Theory.
The two challengers have been involved in a heated rivalry with The Vision, and their recent confrontation on Raw led General Manager Adam Pearce to confirm the championship match for the Saudi Arabia PLE. Dragon Lee will now join them as their partner against the faction.
The Vision will look to gain momentum ahead of the title defence, although Adam Pearce has not confirmed which three members of the group will compete. A victory for Penta’s team could give the challengers a psychological advantage heading into Crown Jewel.
2. Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn’s final face-off before Crown Jewel
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will appear on Raw to address Undisputed Champion Sami Zayn ahead of their Champion vs. Champion match at Crown Jewel. With the November 7 PLE approaching, this could be the final opportunity for both champions to send a message before their showdown in Riyadh.
The contest carries considerable significance, with Reigns looking to reinforce his position as the face of the company while Zayn heads into the match as the reigning Undisputed Champion. Their shared history through the original Bloodline storyline adds another layer to the rivalry.
It will be interesting to see whether Reigns focuses on Zayn’s championship reign or brings up their past association. The segment could also establish the tone for their upcoming encounter, especially with both men representing the top championships.
1. The Bloodline vs 946 rivalry continues
The ongoing rivalry between The Bloodline and The 946 will continue when Solo Sikoa takes on Royce Keys in singles competition. Keys challenged Sikoa during the October 26 episode of Raw, and the former Bloodline leader subsequently accepted the challenge.
The feud has involved several members of both groups, with The Usos and The 946 also playing roles in the escalating conflict. The November 2 match gives Keys an opportunity to score a major victory against one of The Bloodline’s prominent members.
However, Sikoa will be determined to establish his faction’s dominance. With multiple members of both groups expected in Brooklyn for the special double-show night, there is also a possibility that tensions could spill beyond the scheduled contest.
When and where will WWE Raw take place on November 2, 2026?
The November 2 episode will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. It will have a special start time of 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT and will stream live on Netflix.
What is John Cena expected to announce on Raw?
John Cena is expected to provide further details about the inaugural John Cena Classic, which he introduced during his Backlash 2026 appearance.
