The Madison Square Garden, an iconic stage in the history of professional wrestling, was the epicenter of a memorable “Raw” event. Known as the “World’s Most Famous Arena”, this venue always adds a special touch to WWE shows.
This episode of “Raw” featured John Cena in his last appearance on the show as an active competitor, which generated great expectation and contributed to the event selling out. In addition, the audience witnessed a title change, the announcement of a stellar match at Survivor Series: WarGames and the surprise return of three important figures.
Results for “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 was crowned Women’s Intercontinental Champion by defeating Becky Lynch
- Gunther defeated Je’Von Evans
Cena’s last match on “Raw” exceeded expectations
The trios match, where Cena teamed up with Sheamus and Rey Mysterio to face The Judgement Day, was a spectacle full of joy and excitement. The three wrestlers showed a great connection, executing their characteristic moves with enthusiasm, including a triple “Five Knuckle Shuffle” and spectacular combinations of moves.
It was confirmed that Cena will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio at Survivor Series: WarGames, in San Diego, Dominik’s hometown. This match evokes the “home and away” series of matches between John Cena and Edge in 2006. Although the idea of a trios match initially did not generate much enthusiasm, the energy and fun conveyed by the participants changed the perception.
Other highlights from “Raw”
The main event of “Raw” culminated in a confrontation between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, who will lead their respective teams in WarGames. The inclusion of these two superstars elevates the level of the match, opening up various possibilities and interesting combinations in the ring.
Je’Von Evans, NXT star, continued to impress in his “Last Time Is Now” tournament match against Gunther. Despite his youth, Evans demonstrated great talent and agility in the ring.
Maxxine Dupri had a stellar moment by defeating Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental title, thanks to a distraction from AJ Lee, hinting at a possible match between the two in the future. Rhea Ripley also requested time with Lee, which could indicate the latter’s participation in Survivor Series.
Dolph Ziggler, former world champion, made a surprise return to the “Last Time Is Now” tournament, facing Solo Sikoa, who emerged victorious. Ziggler proved to be in excellent shape, and his participation could be the beginning of new opportunities in WWE.
