A seismic shift is coming to the world of professional wrestling. John Cena, a name synonymous with WWE for over two decades, is preparing to take his final bow. This Monday night marks the last time fans will see him compete on Monday Night Raw, a globally televised event streamed on Netflix in the UK.
The announcement has sent ripples through the wrestling universe, sparking a year-long farewell tour culminating in a final match on December 13th. Cena, currently holding the Intercontinental Championship, unexpectedly claimed the title in Boston last week, fueling speculation about a dramatic final defense on this historic night in New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
For UK fans, tuning in to Netflix at 1am will be the only way to witness this monumental occasion live. It’s a chance to see a legend close a chapter, a moment etched in wrestling history, available as part of an existing Netflix subscription.
The Raw event will feature the first rounds of the “Last Time Is Now” tournament, pitting Solo Sikoa against a mystery opponent and GUNTHER against Je’Von Evans. But all eyes are on Cena, and the possibility he’ll put the Intercontinental Championship on the line one last time.
While Cena’s ultimate farewell match will be broadcast internationally on YouTube and Peacock in the US, this Monday’s Raw appearance represents his final, worldwide appearance on Netflix. It’s a unique opportunity to witness a global icon’s last stand on a platform accessible to millions.
The current landscape of WWE is vibrant and competitive. CM Punk reigns as World Heavyweight Champion, while Stephanie Vaquer holds the Women’s World Title. Becky Lynch continues her dominant run as Women’s Intercontinental Champion, and teams like The New Day and Los Americanos are poised to challenge for tag team supremacy.
Beyond the championships, a new generation of stars is rising. LA Knight, Bron Breakker, and Logan Paul are making waves, alongside established veterans like Jey Uso and AJ Styles. The women’s division is equally stacked, with Kairi Sane, Asuka, and Rhea Ripley consistently delivering captivating performances.
This Monday isn’t just about saying goodbye to John Cena; it’s a celebration of his legacy and a glimpse into the future of WWE. It’s a night where past, present, and future collide, offering a poignant and unforgettable experience for wrestling fans worldwide.
