WWE appears to be bringing a lot of star power to New York City’s Madison Square Garden for John Cena’s final appearance on “Monday Night Raw,” including a spoiler revealing a big name expected to be there.
Fans already know Cena will be there, possibly to defend his recently won Intercontinental Championship. There will also be two more matches in the “Last Time is Now Tournament” to help determine Cena’s final opponent for next month’s “Saturday Night’s Main Event.”
One of those matches involves rising NXT star Je’Von Evans battling GUNTHER. The other has Solo Sikoa taking on a mystery opponent. The winners of these matches move on to the second round, which already includes SmackDown match winners LA Knight and Jey Uso, along with last week’s Raw match winners: Sheamus and Rusev.
Fans have ventured guesses about who Solo’s mystery opponent could be, with some suggesting it’s former TNA star Joe Hendry and others predicting it’s a prominent WWE legend. Meanwhile, a set of Raw spoilers could reveal what else will happen during Cena’s huge MSG final appearance.

According to Fightful Select’s update, they indicated earlier that Roman Reigns was “scheduled” to fly in for Raw, along with AJ Lee and Liv Morgan. However, a newer update shed light on former WWE champion Brock Lesnar also participating in the upcoming “Monday Night Raw.”
The outlet confirmed that Lesnar flew in privately on Sunday evening to keep his appearance under wraps from WWE fans. He returned to WWE for SummerSlam in August after a two-year hiatus.
Lesnar is also tied to Cena’s retirement tour, as he defeated the retiring WWE star earlier this year at Wrestlepalooza, the first official premium live event for WWE after inking a deal with ESPN. Lesnar made other brief appearances at WWE events, and it’s believed his appearance on Raw tonight will be to reveal his involvement in a match for Survivor Series WarGames.
A WarGames match began unfolding in recent weeks and features a team of Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, and The Usos, against a team of Bronson Reed, Bron Breakker, Logan Paul, and Drew McIntyre. Based on Lesnar’s involvement, one has to wonder if he’ll join Heyman’s side, while Roman will join The Usos’ side.
WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” begins at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Netflix, with Survivor Series WarGames 2025 to live stream on Saturday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time on the ESPN app.
