The Madison Square Garden has always been an emblematic stage for professional wrestling. Historically, it was the main venue for the World Wide Wrestling Federation, especially in its golden age in the northeastern United States.Currently, WWE continues to reserve a special touch for its events in this iconic venue, known as “The Most Famous Arena in the World”.The recent episode of “Raw” had that particular magic, largely because it was John Cena’s last appearance as an active competitor in the Monday night programming. This, by itself, guaranteed a full house at MSG.Furthermore, the fans witnessed a significant title change, the announcement of a main event for Survivor Series: WarGames, and the surprise return of three prominent figures.
## Results of “Raw”
- John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and Sheamus defeated The Judgement Day (Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh)
- Solo Sikoa defeated Dolph Ziggler
- Maxxine Dupri defeated Becky Lynch to win the Women’s Intercontinental Championship
- Gunther defeated Je’Von Evans
## Cena’s last match on “Raw” exceeded expectationsJohn Cena’s match alongside Sheamus and Rey Mysterio against The Judgement Day was a display of joy and camaraderie. The synchronization of their signature moves, including a triple “Five Knuckle Shuffle”, was a highlight.It was announced that Cena will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series: WarGames, in San Diego. This match evokes the “house and house” rivalry of John Cena and Edge in 2006. On this occasion, Cena won the title in his hometown, Boston, and will now defend it in Dominik’s city.
## Other highlights of “Raw”
The event culminated in a confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, who will lead their respective teams at WarGames, raising the star level of the event. The combination of Lesnar, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre promises future rivalries and championship challenges.Je’Von Evans, NXT star, continued to impress in his match against Gunther. At 21 years old, Evans demonstrated exceptional talent.Maxxine Dupri starred in a memorable moment at MSG by defeating Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Title, thanks to a distraction from AJ Lee, who could have a pending match with Lynch.Dolph Ziggler surprisingly returned to the ring in the “Last Time Is Now” tournament, facing Solo Sikoa, who took the victory. Ziggler’s appearance, along with Zack Ryder’s recent arrival on “SmackDown”, opens the door to new possibilities in WWE.
