John says what a night.  Madison Square Garden has allowed him to appear on the hallowed stage for 23 years.  There is some extra enthusiasm because this is the last time they can talk together in Madison Square Garden or on Raw.  Bittersweet moment for some and a very important moment for him.

Cena says if Dom wants it in his home town, he has no problem and he accepts.  John says he has a problem that he said he would have a match on his final Raw.  He says he sees an opponent in the middle of the ring.  For tonight, let’s forget about the title and focus on the situation.  He will defend the title in San Diego, but if you have the guts, you will face him one on one tonight.  He asks Dom if he is feelling lucky.

11/17 WWE RAW Preview

Becky Lynch will put the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against Maxxine Dupri. Dupri has already scored two victories over Lynch in recent weeks—one via countout on October 6 and another via disqualification on October 20. While neither win earned her the title, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce granted Dupri another opportunity when she declared herself ready last week. Tonight, Dupri has the chance to prove her wins weren’t flukes and dethrone “The Man.”

John Cena will make his final-ever appearance on Raw, addressing the WWE Universe at the start of the show. Cena recently defeated Dominik Mysterio to capture the Intercontinental Championship, completing his career Grand Slam. With his farewell match scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13 in Washington, D.C., Cena’s words tonight will set the tone for his last chapter.

The tournament to determine Cena’s final opponent continues with two first-round matches:

• GUNTHER returns for his first bout since losing the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam, facing NXT standout Je’Von Evans.

• Solo Sikoa, leader of MFT, battles a mystery opponent in another opening-round clash.

On SmackDown last Friday, LA Knight and Jey Uso advanced to the quarterfinals by defeating Zack Ryder (Matt Cardona) and The Miz respectively. Tonight’s matches will further shape the bracket as the road to Cena’s farewell bout intensifies.
