The tournament to decide John Cena’s final opponent begins as the record 17-time World Champion makes his final appearance in Boston.
Streaming live on Netflix from the TD Garden in Cena’s hometown, WWE Raw airs at 8 PM ET on November 10, 2025.
Here’s our full preview for WWE Raw that also features multiple championship matches.
WWE Raw Match Card (11/10/25)
- The Last Time Is Now Tournament: Rusev vs. Damian Priest
- The Last Time Is Now Tournament: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Sheamus
- Women’s Tag Team Championship: Charlotte Flair & Alexia Bliss vs. The Kabuki Warriors
- Women’s World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Raquel Rodriguez
The Last Time Is Now Tournament
John Cena’s WrestleMania 31 opponent, Rusev, faces Damian Priest for the chance to progress in The Last Time Is Now Tournament. The winner of the tournament gets the honour of being Cena’s final opponent at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025.
Priest has never faced Cena one-on-one. Sheamus and Shinsuke Nakamura also do battle in the tournament. Sheamus won his first World Heavyweight Championship from Cena in 2009, and the two feuded for the next few years.
Nakamura has only had one TV match with Cena. They met in a WWE Championship No.1 Contender’s match on WWE SmackDown in 2017, which Nakamura won.
There’s enough history with all but Priest to add interest to them moving forward in the tournament. But, it still doesn’t feel like Cena’s eventual final opponent is fighting in Boston this week.
Women’s War Games Match Taking Shape?
Could six of the ten women in a potential War Games match be squaring up on WWE Raw this week? I think so.
Charlotte Flair and Alexia Bliss defend the Women’s Tag Team Championship against The Kabuki Warriors. Asuka and Kairi Sane attacked the champions a few weeks ago after they faced Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. If Bayley and Valkyria decide to get involved, that all but guarantees Flair, Bliss, Bayley, Valkyria and another enter the structure.
But who would back up The Kabuki Warriors? Well, Raquel Rodriguez faces Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship. Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez are deep in a feud with Vaquer. If the Chilean champion backs up the good girls, it would make perfect sense for The Judgement Day ladies to join forces with The Kabuki Warriors.
Don’t expect any title changes on WWE Raw in these matches, but expect more seeds to be sewn on the road to Survivor Series: War Games at the end of the month?
What about the fifth member on the heel’s team? Keep an eye on Nikki Bella.
