The next WWE Raw is hyping up a bunch of stars like John Cena, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, Becky Lynch, and Jey Uso.
They’ve already said there will be some matches and segments, plus two more first-round matches in the tournament to see John Cena’s final opponent.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect on the November 17th episode of WWE Raw, including the match list, when it starts, and how to watch it.
WWE Raw Match Card: 17/11/2025
- Women’s Intercontinental Championship: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Maxxine Dupri
- Last Time is Now Tournament: Gunther vs. Je’Von Evans
- Last Time is Now Tournament: Solo Sikoa vs. opponent to be announced
- New appearance by John Cena and supposedly a new match
As General Manager Adam Pearce was announcing more first-round matchups for the Last Time is Now Tournament, he was literally next to the tumbler.
NXT’s Je’Von Evans will face Gunther who is making his comeback, and Solo Sikoa will fight against a mysterious opponent whose identity Adam Pearce has kept secret. Both matches will take place this week, and the victors will be the ones to go on to the next round with Sheamus, Rusev, Jey Uso, and LA Knight who have already made their way there.
Meanwhile, may we expect a dramatic upset at Madison Square Garden? Maxxine Dupri might complete a real underdog narrative by defeating Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
Finally, we will most likely hear from Nikki Bella following her stunning heel change and assault on Stephanie Vaquer last week.
But will there be more double-crossing as we approach WWE Survivor Series: War Games at the end of the month? Stay tuned with us for more information about WWE.
