The 03/17 episode of Monday Night Raw will emanate from Brussels
WWE fans tuned in to witness the second and final PLE ahead of WrestleMania 41, the Elimination Chamber PLE which also featured Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who wanted an answer for his offer from the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.
The men’s Chamber match was the final match of the PLE where John Cena picked up the win and punched his ticket to WrestleMania 41 where he would battle the Undisputed WWE Champion. However, what followed is completely edged in fans’ mind as Cena for the first time in his illustrious career turned heel.
To everyone’s surprise, after Cody rejected The Rock’s offer, Cena went to hug him, seemingly approving the answer, but all changed when Johnson made the cut-throat gesture as Cena landed a low blow on Rhodes and continued to beat down the champion, leaving him bloodied and bruised.
Cena is now set to make his return after the heinous beatdown of Rhodes on the 03/17 episode of Monday Night Raw which will air live from the Forest National in Brussels, Belgium. Cody Rhodes is also set for an appearance and the two stars for the first time since Elimination Chamber will be under one roof.

Will The Rock make his return alongside John Cena?
No, The Rock is not advertised for the 03/17 episode of Monday Night Raw, despite John Cena’s return being confirmed by the promotion. It is highly unlikely that Johnson will make an appearance unannounced. Johnson has a busy schedule to follow as his Hollywood and Business ventures demand a lot of time.
The live-action remake of Moana 2, which features The Rock, is set to release in July, which undoubtedly will demand a lot of time from Johnson’s schedule, and he has also been cast in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming untitled film, which is being described as a mix of The Departed and Goodfellas.
Bron Breakker set to defend the Intercontinental title against Finn Balor
During last week’s WWE Raw, Judgement Day member Dominik Mysterio had a conversation with General Manager Adam Pearce about setting up an Intercontinental match between the champion Bron Breakker and Judgement Day’s leader Finn Balor. The two stars will meet after Balor’s failed attempt to batter Breakker on the 03/03 show where Bron took care of the entire Judgment Day by himself.
Penta and Ludwig Kaiser are also set to clash in a no-holds-barred match while Dakota Kai will battle Ivy Nile after the latter ambushed her following her loss to Women’s Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria.
“Main Event” Jey Uso is also set for action this time against Austin Theory, last week he defeated Grayson Waller and was ambushed by his A-Town Down Under tag partner Theory leading to a singles match between the two.
