Adam Pearce makes major John Cena announcement for WWE RAW

WWE icon John Cena is all set to make his final Monday Night RAW appearance. The red brand's General Manager Adam Pearce has made an announcement regarding the 48-year-old heading into the show.

WWE CCO Triple H kicked off last week's edition of the show to welcome the Never Seen 17 in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, for the very last time. The Game put The Cenation Leader in an Intercontinental Championship match against Dominik Mysterio after the Judgment Day member came out and disrespected the veteran. Cena won the bout to finally become a WWE Grand Slam Champion.

Earlier today, WWE posted a video on X/Twitter featuring RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. The 47-year-old previewed the lineup for the show slated to air from the iconic Madison Square Garden. Pearce announced that John Cena would kick off the show.

"Monday Night RAW comes to you live tomorrow night from the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. And it does not get any bigger, as this will mark the final appearance on Monday Night RAW for the Never Seen 17, Greatest of All Time, and brand new Intercontinental Champion John Cena. John will kick off the broadcast tomorrow night," Pearce said.

Wrestling veteran claims John Cena will lose the Intercontinental Championship to popular WWE star

Former WWE Manager Jim Cornette recently opined that John Cena would lose the Intercontinental Championship in his retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event.

Speaking in a recent episode of Jim Cornette's Drive Thru, the wrestling veteran stated that Gunther will defeat Cena to reclaim the coveted title. Cornette added that it would benefit The Ring General, unlike Cena's loss to Brock Lesnar, which had no long-term implications.

"We'll see what happens, but I would think that the obvious thing is for Cena to then put Gunther over for the Intercontinental title on his last night on Saturday Night's Main Event. That will actually be him doing a job that will do some good for somebody whereas the one to Brock didn't accomplish anything long term. They're not even talking about it," Cornette said.

Gunther will make his return from injury to contest in his Round One match of the Last Time is Now Tournament. The Ring General will be the favorite to win his bout against NXT star Je'Von Evans.
