WWE Raw Results 11/17 - John Cena Makes His Final Ever Raw Appearance, Women's Intercontinental Title On The Line

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "WWE Raw" on November 17, 2025, coming to you live from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York!

Becky Lynch will be putting the Women's Intercontinental Championship on the line tonight as she defends against Maxxine Dupri. Dupri holds a win over Lynch from the October 6 episode of "Raw" via countout, and did score another win over Lynch on the October 20 edition of "Raw" when she challenged her for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. However, Dupri's second win against Lynch came via disqualification meaning she didn't dethrone Lynch as titleholder, later prompting "Raw" General Manager Adam Pearce to offer Dupri another title match when she felt ready to square off with Lynch again which she cashed in last week.

As he prepares for his final match at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13, John Cena will be making his final ever appearance on "Raw" with something on his mind to share in the opening moments of tonight's show. Cena dethroned Judgment Day member Dominik Mysterio as Intercontinental Champion during last Monday's edition of the show, officially becoming a Grand Slam Champion in the process.

Speaking of Cena's final match, The Last Time Is Now Tournament to determine who he will be facing on December 13 is set to continue tonight. The returning GUNTHER competes in his first match since losing the World Heavyweight Championship at Night One of WWE SummerSlam on August 2 when he faces "WWE NXT" star Je'Von Evans, while "WWE SmackDown" star and MFT leader Solo Sikoa takes on a mystery opponent in a pair of first round matches. LA Knight and Jey advanced to the quarterfinals of the tournament this past Friday on "SmackDown" when they defeated Zack Ryder (also known as Matt Cardona) and The Miz respectively in first round matches.

We are live! Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore greet audiences at home before throwing it to a video recapping the Intercontinental Championship match between John Cena and Dominik Mysterio last Monday.

Cena then makes his way to the ring.

Cena thanks New York City, then says the champ is here and says he's walked the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden for 23 years. He says tonight will be the last time he can talk with the fans at Madison Square Garden and on "Raw", then says it's an important moment for him.

Dominik Mysterio's music hits and he makes his way out. He says no one wants to hear what Cena has to say, then says Cena was handed a title shot last Monday like he's been handed everything else. He says he's fought for everything he has, then demands a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship. Cena asks the live crowd how they feel about the situation and they cheer, prompting Cena to agree to give Dominik his rematch next.

Dominik declines to accept Cena's counteroffer, saying that they already did things Cena's way with management and his hometown on his side. He says things will be his way this time, then clarifies that he wants his Intercontinental Championship rematch at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames. Cena happily accepts, but says he told the world that he would have a match on his final "Raw". He challenges Dominik to a non-title match tonight, then asks Dominik if he feels lucky.

Judgment Day's music hits, and Finn Balor and JD McDonagh make their way to the ring to provide Dominik with backup. Dominik says he won't get his final match on "Raw" because he's going to get beat down, then blindsides Cena and fires off stomps on him with Balor and McDonagh. Sheamus runs down to the ring to provide Cena with some backup, but Judgment Day quickly overpowers him. Rey Mysterio's music hits and he runs down to the ring to even the odds. Rey, Cena, and Sheamus dump Judgment Day out of the ring before Cena challenges Judgment Day to a Six Man Tag Team Match on behalf of himself, Sheamus, and Rey.

Judgment Day looks to head to the back, but Cena, Rey, and Sheamus chase them up the entrance ramp and drag them back to ringside. Sheamus then dumps Dominik in the ring, and the bell sounds. Sheamus fires off a few strikes on Dominik in the corner, then delivers The Swing to Dominik.

Back from the break, Balor and McDonagh wear down Sheamus. Dominik tags in and lands a senton on Sheamus over the top rope, but Rey tags in on his side and levels Dominik. Dominik flexes his biceps during another commercial break, but Balor tags back in and wears Rey down with a submission hold.

Cena and McDonagh tag in back from the break, and Cena runs over McDonagh with a pair of shoulder tackles. Cena sets up for an Attitude Adjustment on McDonagh, but McDonagh lands on his feet and delivers a moonsault to Cena off the top rope. Balor delivers a Coup De Grace to Cena, and Dominik follows it up with a Frog Splash. McDonagh then pins Cena, but Cena kicks out.

Sheamus, Cena, and Rey deliver The Ten Beats Of The Bodhran to Judgment Day, and the trio follow it up with a Five Knuckle Shuffle to Judgment Day. Rey then delivers a double 619 to Balor and McDonagh before Sheamus levels Balor with a Brogue Kick and Cena connects with an Attitude Adjustment on McDonagh for the win.

Winners: John Cena, Sheamus, and Rey Mysterio
