WWE RAW Preview – November 2 | WWE is set to deliver a unique broadcast of Monday Night RAW live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, featuring an early start time of 6 PM ET. The schedule adjustment, followed by an immediate SmackDown taping, comes as the roster prepares to travel to Riyadh for WWE Crown Jewel 2026.
Tonight’s go-home show promises high-stakes action, major title defenses, and the long-awaited return of a WWE icon.
Key Matchups And Segment Highlights
John Cena Returns To Monday Night RAW
John Cena makes his return to Monday Night RAW in his first appearance on the brand since retiring from full-time in-ring competition in December 2025. His last WWE appearance came at Backlash in May, when he announced the inaugural John Cena Classic. While Cena previously indicated that the tournament would take place in December, WWE has not officially revealed what he will discuss in Brooklyn, leaving his segment as one of the biggest unknowns on the card.
Intercontinental Championship: Chad Gable (c) vs. Ethan Page
Ethan Page already holds a victory over Intercontinental Champion Chad Gable, and tonight he gets the opportunity to take his title as well. Page and Big Cass defeated Gable and Dragon Lee in tag team action last week, giving Page vital momentum heading into this singles title shot. With no tag team partners at ringside, Gable must defend the championship he has spent months establishing, while Page aims to prove his previous win was no fluke.
The Vision vs. Penta, Je’Von Evans & Dragon Lee
Ahead of their World Tag Team Championship match against Bron Breakker and Austin Theory at Crown Jewel, Penta and Je’Von Evans team up with Dragon Lee to take on The Vision (Breakker, Theory, and Bronson Reed). Tensions between the two sides have escalated since Breakker targeted Evans after a dangerous Money in the Bank crash, prompting Penta to step in for revenge. This six-man tag team contest serves as a final opportunity for both teams to gain a psychological advantage before heading to Riyadh.
Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys
The feud between 946 and The Bloodline moves to the singles ranks as Royce Keys takes on Solo Sikoa. After 946 repeatedly targeted Sikoa over recent weeks—including a brief kidnapping before The Bloodline fought back—Keys challenged Solo to face him one-on-one. With Carmelo Hayes, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price, and Jaida Parker aligning with Keys, and Roman Reigns alongside The Usos backing Sikoa, this match carries major implications as Survivor Series: WarGames approaches.
Roman Reigns Live Appearance
World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns makes his final RAW appearance before facing Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn in a Champion vs. Champion match at Crown Jewel. After Reigns questioned whether Zayn would even make it to Riyadh with his belt, Zayn responded by defending the title and demanding the locker room acknowledge him. With both the Crown Jewel showdown and The Bloodline’s ongoing war with 946 demanding his attention, Reigns faces mounting pressure tonight in Brooklyn.
