Preview & Predictions for WWE RAW:

On tap for today's episode, two of the remaining four opening round matches in The Last Time is Now Tournament will take place to determine who faces John Cena at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13th. We know that "The Ring General" Gunther will be making his return to face NXT Superstar Je'Von Evans, and that Solo Sikoa will be in action, but his opponent has been kept a mystery. My theory is that it will be Joe Hendry, who has recently signed a WWE contract, or possibly Dolph Ziggler. Plenty people are sold that this is going to be Chris Jericho, but that would be very surprising to me. I think we're seeing both Gunther and Sikoa move on, unless Sami Zayn comes out to interfere and cost Sikoa. Gunther's winning this whole tournament, in my mind.

A Women's Intercontinental Championship match is also on the schedule. Maxxine Dupri has had some fluke victories over Becky Lynch as of late, and this appears to be the end of the feud. Lynch will obviously retain. Do they bring AJ Lee back right after this, or is that something were next week or so, Lynch cuts a promo and says she's moved past Dupri? One way or another, Lynch is walking out of Madison Square Garden still the champion, and I'm still assuming AJ Lee will be the one to defeat her for it somewhere down the road (and then, drop it to Roxanne Perez, at least if I'm booking anything!)

But this is also John Cena's final episode of Raw, so we'll be seeing something with the new intercontinental champion, too. Who he wrestles is entirely up in the air.

Here are your results for WWE Monday Night Raw - November 17, 2025:

• John Cena opened the show with a promo that was interrupted by Dominik Mysterio, mad at losing the men's Intercontinental Championship last week. Dom wants a rematch, which Cena agreed to, but Dom then said no, as he wants to do it "his way" and fight at Survivor Series in San Diego. Cena agrees. The Judgment Day went on the attack and Cena was saved by Sheamus and Rey Mysterio, setting up a six-man tag team match.
• Six-Man Tag Team Match: John Cena, Rey Mysterio and Sheamus defeated The Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh) by pinfall.
• Backstage, Paul Heyman informed Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis of his fifth pick, which he knows will upset them.
• Jackie Redmond interviewed Stephanie Vaquer about the Nikki Bella heel turn from last week, but before Vaquer could even finish her entrance, Bella attacked her from behind, then grabbed a microphone and said she didn't return to WWE to be a sidekick. She's coming for the title.
• The Kabuki Warriors tried to recruit Bayley to their WarGames team, but she turned them down. After Lyra Valkyria said that she was proud of Bayley for doing that, Bayley called her an idiot.
• The Last Time is Now Tournament First-Round Match: Solo Sikoa defeated Dolph Ziggler by pinfall.
• Alexa Bliss called out Charlotte Flair's bad attitude in not backing her up. The heel women's WarGames group went on the attack and Bliss was joined by Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, as well as eventually Flair (wielding a kendo stick). 
• Women's Intercontinental Championship Match: Maxxine Dupri defeated Becky Lynch (c) by pinfall to win the title!! This was in part due to AJ Lee returning and coming out for a distraction.
• The Last Time is Now Tournament First-Round Match: Gunther defeated Je'Von Evans by 
• Backstage, AJ Lee and Maxxine Dupri were talking, with Dupri thanking her for her help and Lee congratulating her on her win. Dupri went off to celebrate with Akira Tozawa and Otis. Jackie Redmond then asked Lee if she's sticking around, and Lee said that Becky Lynch makes her feel things, implying she would. Rhea Ripley then approached Lee, wanting to talk to her.
• The current sides to the WarGames teams came out and started to fight. Brock Lesnar returned to join the fight as well on behalf of Team Vision. As the credits were about to roll, Roman Reigns then also made his return to come out and face The Beast Incarnate and fight with him, before Bronson Reed jumped Reigns from behind and everything continued to devolve.
