Cena’s Last “Raw” Match: An Unforgettable Event
Cena’s final match on “Raw” exceeded all expectations. Cena, teaming with Sheamus and Rey Mysterio, faced The Judgement Day in a six-person tag team match. The joy was evident on the faces of the wrestlers, who executed their signature moves, including a triple Five Knuckle Shuffle.
It is confirmed that Cena will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series: WarGames, in San Diego, Dominik’s hometown. This match promises to be an epic showdown.
Other Highlights from “Raw”
The main event featured the expected face-off between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, who will lead their respective teams at WarGames. The inclusion of Lesnar elevates the quality of the match, generating multiple combinations and potential rivalries.
NXT star Je’Von Evans continued to impress in his Last Time Is Now tournament match against Gunther. At 21 years old, Evans demonstrated exceptional talent.
Maxxine Dupri had her “MSG moment” by defeating Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title, thanks to a distraction from AJ Lee, who could be involved in a future match against Lynch. Rhea Ripley requested time with Lee backstage, suggesting a possible involvement of Lee in Survivor Series.
Dolph Ziggler made a surprise return to the Last Time Is Now tournament, facing Solo Sikoa, who emerged victorious. Sikoa’s Samoan Spike was especially impactful. Ziggler proved to be in top form, which opens the possibility of seeing him more often in WWE.
