Overview
- WWE announced that John Cena will appear on the November 2, 2026 episode of Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
- This will be Cena’s first Raw appearance since he retired from in‑ring competition in December 2025 after losing to Gunther.
- Cena has publicly said he will not return to wrestling and has signed a five‑year ambassador deal with WWE that formalizes a non‑wrestling role.
- His Raw visit comes as WWE will tape the following week’s SmackDown in Brooklyn with Roman Reigns expected to appear and as the company promotes the Crown Jewel event.
- Cena has stayed active on WWE television since retiring by hosting WrestleMania 42 and announcing the John Cena Classic tournament, and his appearance could bring further news on that initiative.
