During the latest WWE Raw broadcast from Phoenix, AZ, it was revealed that John Cena’s long-standing career is approaching its end, with only 19 WWE Raw appearances left as part of his highly publicized John Cena farewell tour WWE Raw appearances. Cena’s departure marks a turning point for the sport, as fans prepare to say goodbye to one of its most influential figures.
New Feuds Emerge on WWE Raw
Intense rivalries are brewing to set the tone for the remainder of Cena’s appearances.

This altercation was not just a surprise attack, but the beginning of what insiders now confirm will be an official program between Bella and Morgan. The culmination of this rivalry is likely scheduled for WWE Evolution, the company’s all-women premium live event. It remains to be seen if their face-off will involve tag titles, or if Brie Bella may also join the storyline.

Another major feud gaining traction this week involves Bayley, who made her highly anticipated return to the red brand, and Becky Lynch, the newly crowned WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion. Their conflict comes as Lynch continues a tense issue with Valkyria, suggesting that a multi-competitor title match could manifest at WWE Evolution. After Raw concluded, Bayley sent a bold message:
“Gonna make ‘The Man’ my b*tch.”
