WWE Raw Results from WWE Raw Tonight (11/17/25)
John Cena isn’t Done Yet
There is perhaps no more successful champion in all of wrestling than Father Time, who remains undefeated. In just a few short weeks, he’ll claim another challenger as John Cena prepares to wrestle his final match of his sterling, Hall of Fame, WWE career. As the inexorable passage of time moves forth however, Cena isn’t done yet and he’s promised that tonight, when he takes his final bow on Monday Night Raw at MSG, will be can’t miss.
Cena kicked off Raw telling the fans chanting thank you to him that they’ve got it backwards – he should be thanking them. Cena does his usual intro as the crowd continues to cheer. Cena says Madison Square Garden has allowed him to step on the stage for 23 years and tonight there is a little extra enthusiasm as it’s the last time they can talk together. It’s the last time they can talk together here on Raw. It’s a bittersweet moment but an important moment. Before Cena can continue though, he’s interrupted by someone no one in the crowd wants to talk to, Dominik Mysterio.
Mysterio speaks in Spanish before turning his attention to Cena saying no one wants to hear what he has to say. Last week he was handed a title shot just like he’s been handed everything else. Mysterio says he’s fought for everything he has and then yells at the crowd more in Spanish. He wants a rematch for his Intercontinental Championship. Cena says it’s tough to process over all the noise, but Mysterio came to the right building. He’s not going to back down on his last Monday Night Raw. He’s got to do one thing first – he’s got to ask New York City how they feel. So he asks the crowd, if tonight in the world’s most famous arena, they want to see Cena vs Mysterio right here, right now.
The crowd says yes but Mysterio says no. They already did it Cena’s way. He had management on his side, his hometown on his side. So now, it’s gonna be Mysterio’s way. He says he wants his rematch at Survivor Series in San Diego on his home turf. Cena says he accepts but he does have a problem. He told the world he’d have a match on his final Monday Night Raw and he sees an opponent in the arena. He tells Mysterio it’s not about the title but about the people here. If he’s got the guts, he’ll face him one-on-one…
Judgment Day’s music hits as Finn Balor and JD McDonagh make their way out. Cena takes off his shirt, ready for a fight but Mysterio says he’s not getting a match with him tonight but he will get his ass beat. It’s a three-on-one until…Sheamus comes out and goes right after McDonagh and Balor. But Judgment Day still has the numbers advantage until…Rey Mysterio comes out and goes right after Dominik. All six men are in the ring until the babyfaces clean up. Cena says he’s got a team and Mysterio has got a team. He calls for a six-man tag match right now and we go to break.
Cena, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio vs Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, and JD McDonagh
Balor and Sheamus are legal as Judgment Day poses, having control of the match. Balor has Sheamus in the ropes and McDonagh with the cheap shot on the apron. McDonagh tags in for his own pound of flesh as Judgment Day isolates Sheamus in their corner. Balor back in and then Mysterio for a double team and cover. Tag back to McDonagh and another nearfall. Back in to Balor with another double team but no, Sheamus with the double clothesline to take both guys out. Sheamus into Rey Mysterio who takes out Balor with a huge hurricanrana and then a 6-1-9, but no, Dominik grabs the legs preventing Rey from the move before Rey takes out Dom. But it’s enough to give the Judgment Day the advantage back as Balor throws Rey onto the outside and we go to another commercial.
Rey and Balor are legal as we get back from break and a quick nearfall for Balor, who takes out Sheamus off the apron after. Rey is isolated in the Judgment Day corner but he fights off briefly before taking out Dom and Balor, but no, McDonagh with the ankle to keep Rey in their corner. A quick move and Rey sends Balor into McDonagh allowing him the hot tag into Cena. Cena with the shoulder tackles, five knuckle shuffle, and into the AA but no McDonagh reverses and hits a headbutt. Sheamus gets back in the fray and goes after McDonagh, but then Balor goes after Sheamus and Rey gets involved but Dom takes out his dad. McDonagh to the top and moonsault to Cena followed by the coup de grace from Balor and frog splash from Dom. Sheamus and Rey break up the pin. Rey and Dom are the legal men but Rey denied the 6-1-9 again. 10 beats of the ballard from Sheamus, Cena, and Rey on the heels followed by takedowns by the babyfaces. Judgment Day all down on the mat and they set up for a triple five (15?) knuckle shuffle. McDonagh and Balor into the ropes and Rey with a double 6-1-9 followed by a Brogue by Cena on Dom and AA on McDonagh. And that’s all she wrote. Future Hall of Famers win as if it was never in doubt…which it wasn’t. The three head up the ramp and celebrate together.
Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce are backstage talking about Drew McIntrye breaking his suspension when Paul Heyman walks by saying he can sense the tension. Pearce notes McIntyre is in the building. Heyman apologizes but says everything he did is within the rules and regulations. He says if they think his fourth pick of McIntyre annoyed them, wait for the fifth pick. Heyman looks smug as he hands Pearce the contract. They open it and both men look annoyed as Pearce says, this will be fun.
Shots of celebrities are shown ringside including Eric Andre, Ashley Cooke, Cooper DeJean, Big Dom, and the New York Giants including Cam Skateboo and Andrew Schulz. A recap shows of during the commercial break when Dom took out Schulz and Skateboo backed him up…along with the rest of the team.

Stephanie Vaquer Interview Interrupted
Jackie Redmond is in the ring talking about an upcoming exclusive with the world champ, but first they show a recap of Nikki Bella turning on Stephanie Vaquer last week. Vaquer comes out but Bella attacks her on the entrance ramp. She’s got a mic. She tells Vaquer she didn’t come back to cheer on the sidelines or to be anyone’s sidekick. She came back to take back what’s hers, the women’s division. She thanks Vaquer for reminding her who she is. Bella says Vaquer will be giving her a title match and she will bow down to the women who changed the entire industry.
Another highlight, this time showing the set up for the women’s war games match. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria are seen walking backstage when Bayley comes upon the Kabuki Warriors. They approach her about being on their War Games team. Asuka says she can forget the past and forgive Bayley if she fights on their team. Bayley laughs at them and says after everything they did to her two years ago, making her best friend turn her back on her…the answer is no. Valkyrai comes back into shot saying she’s so proud of her but Bayley snaps as Valkyria tries to high five her and calls her an idiot. The saga continues.
Solo Sikoa vs Dolph Ziggler
And the mystery opponent is…here to show the world! Much like Matt Cardona fka Zack Ryder, Dolph Ziggler enters as his WWE alter ego, complete with entrance and graphics. He’s amped up as the Madison Square Garden crowd pops huge for the former world champion. Sikoa seems unimpressed. The match starts and Sikoa seems to size up Ziggler before going right at him but Ziggler ducks out and gets Sikoa in the corner. But Sikoa’s strength kicks in and he takes down his opponent as the crowd chants for Ziggler. Ziggler gets Sikoa down and hits a huge elbow drop before locking in the STF but Sikoa with the rope break. He rolls to the outside but Ziggler follows him out and the action heads to the commentary table, which is apparently now “reinforced.” He throws Sikoa into the desk a few times before tossing him back in the ring. Ziggler heads to the top and hits a huge elbow but only gets a one count before we head to commercial.
Sikoa is in control as we get back from break, taking Ziggler out with a Samoan Drop.

Alexa Bliss Needs Some War Games Help
Alexa Bliss is in the ring. She says Charlotte Flair ignored all of her texts and calls this weekend so she has to try something else. Bliss turns to the camera to talk directly to Flair. She says after everything they’ve been through…they lost the tag titles but they can get those back but the built trust that’s hard to get back. It took six weeks and everyone told her not to waste her time on Flair but she ignored it because she knows who Flair is on the inside. She said Flair will be the one to prove her wrong. She left Bliss and that led to her getting beat up. All because Flair doesn’t like Rhea Ripley. Bliss says she’s Charlotte Flair. She never cared about liking people or people liking her. She needed someone to have her back, her best friend to have her back, that’s when Flair decided to prove a point. Bliss has gone to hell and back for her…
Here comes the Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax, and Lash Legend. Jax takes the mic and calls Bliss a loser. She says this is embarrassing. She’s all alone. As her former best friend, she understands why Flair has left her. Jax says it looks like no one is coming to save her so this is going to be fun. The heels approach the ring before Ripley’s music hits and out comes Ripley and IYO SKY. The babyfaces charge the ring but it’s still a numbers game as the heels take quick advantage. Jax gets Bliss to the mat before Flair comes out with a kendo stick. She takes out Jax and Legend before turning her attention to Bliss. Flair helps Bliss up as the crowd chant “she’s your best friend.” Bliss, Flair, Ripley, and SKY stand united in the ring as it seems like Flair is in for War Games.
Survivor Series card announcements as Bella vs Vaquer is made official and so is Cena vs Mysterio. A clip of Tom Rinaldi with Cena plays focused on seeking approval. Cena says he’s been in front of polarizing audiences and he’s glad he doesn’t think about it as you can get lost trying to give a consumer what they want instead of being authentic. Cena says the biggest most troublesome patterns in his life is when he’s given his approval to other folks but done the deed anyway. Cena acknowledged those are good learning experiences. It’s noted the full interview will be available the week of Cena’s final match.
Becky Lynch vs Maxxine Dupri
Before the match, Lynch was seen yelling at the John Cena action figure as Wade Barrett put over the Dusty Rhodes figure. Alicia Taylor made the introductions as Lynch showed off her title and this one is underway. Dupri with a huge boot at the start and a nearfall but no, Lynch kicked out. It’s all Dupri in the early going. She climbs to the top but Lynch follows and throws Dupri off the ring post. Lynch charges Dupri in the corner until the ref pulls her off.

Dupri regains the edge, pounding Lynch into the corner before Lynch hits the pop up powerbomb into a cover. Dupri kicks out but Lynch hits the Disarmher. It’s locked in but Dupri bridges out briefly before Lynch locks the move back in. Dupri with another nearfall on a reversal and she’s got the ankle lock in. She pulls Lynch back to the middle before dropping down to the mat for the extra leverage. Lynch manages to get up and Dupri has to release as her shoulders were down. Lynch with the Manhandle Slam but Dupri gets her foot on the rope. She gets back in the face of Jessika Carr, who pushes her off and back to the match. Lynch rolls Dupri to the outside and demands the ref start the count. Lynch undoes the turnbuckle pad before…AJ Lee is back! Lee skips down the ramp and distracts Lynch as Dupri heads to the top and takes out Lynch with a crossbody…and she does it! Dupri is the new Women’s Intercontinental Champion. She rolls out of the ring and embraces Lee as Lynch looks shocked at first and then incensed as the pyro goes off and Dupri celebrates with Lee.
Je’Von Evans vs Gunther
Gunther and Solo Sikoa are in action next week in quarterfinal action in addition to the men’s war games advantage match. Speaking of War Games…here comes the Vision, Logan Paul, and Paul Heyman as we head to commercial break. Drew McIntyre made his way out with his own music after the break.
Men’s War Games Teams are Finalized
Heyman introduced his team saying he’s walked some of the best teams to the ring for War Games including the Samoan Swat Team, Bloodline, Freebirds and Dangerous Alliance. This is the greatest assembly of talent ever put together for War Games, Heyman says…out comes Team Punk as CM Punk’s music hits and Punk walks out first. He waits at the edge of the ramp before Jey Uso’s music hits and out comes Jimmy and Jey from the crowd. Up next, the other champ as Cody Rhodes hits the scene and the crowd sings him to the ring. Rhodes and Punk fist bump and then hit the apron with the Usos.
The brawl begins but we’re still missing two people, one of whom the crowd chants for: “OTC.” Punk and Paul go at in the center of the ring as Rhodes and McIntyre fight on the outside…and then it happens. Out comes Brock Lesnar, #5 for the heels. Lesnar charges Punk in the center of the ring, taking him out with a series of suplexes. Rhodes enters the ring and comes face to face with Lesnar. He eats a huge suplex and another. Lesnar kicks Rhodes out of the ring as Raw goes off the air…or does it. The credits air but then the OTC arrives and it looks like the rumors were true. Reigns walks toward the ring, focused on Lesnar. The two stare each other down as Reigns meets Lesnar in the ring. Heyman looks on smugly as the cameras pan out to show the crowd before coming back on both men. Reigns with a Superman Punch to send Lesnar flying. Security comes out to separate the two as Bronson Reed gets back in the ring and takes out Reigns and the security detail. Reigns eats an elbow but before Reed can hit the Tsunami, Reigns with a huge Superman Punch. The NYPD are out as Punk chokes Paul with a kendo stick and Reigns sends Reed through the barricade. And that’s all she wrote for a Monday night in MSG.
