They showed Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Drew McIntyre, and Paul Heyman together before the show. They also featured others who will be appearing on the show tonight including Solo Sikoa as well as Gunther. They followed this up with a video package of last week’s match where John Cena won the Intercontinental Championship from Dominik Mysterio.
John Cena vs Dominik Mysterio match is made for Survivor Series: WarGames
The show opened with John Cena coming down the aisle into the ring to a huge reaction. The crowd chanted his name as well as “Thank you, Cena” for his last Monday Night Raw appearance. Cena said this is a very important moment for him.
Cena was interrupted by Dominik Mysterio who was met by a chorus of boos. Dominik said he wanted his Intercontinental title rematch. Cena said yes, let’s go right now. Dominik said this week they are going to do it his way. He wants the match at Survivor Series in his backyard of San Diego. Cena said he accepts, but he told the world he would have a match tonight on Monday Night Raw. He told Dominik that he will put the title on the line in San Diego, but he wants a match with him tonight.
Finn Balor and JD McDonagh came to the ring. They beat down John Cena until Sheamus came into the ring to help Cena. They jumped Sheamus and it was two on one until Rey Mysterio came to the ring to even the odds, and they cleared the ring of Judgment Day. Cena then challenged Judgment Day to fight him, Sheamus, and Rey right now.
Not again! 😅

Backstage:
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis and Raw GM Adam Pearce were talking when Paul Heyman interrupted them. Heyman said what he did by bringing back Drew McIntyre was within the rules. He warned them that if they were mad at him for picking McIntyre, wait until they see who he picked for the next person for his team at War Games. He handed Aldis the contract. Aldis and Pearce looked at it and were irritated by it.
"Wait 'till you see what I have in store for you next."

Inside the ring:
Alexa Bliss said Charlotte Flair ignored her phone calls all week. Bliss said she had Flair’s back all this time, and Flair left her last week when she got beat up.
The Kabuki Warriors, Nia Jax, and Lash Legend came to the ring to attack Bliss. As they circled the ring, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY came to the ring. As the two teams brawled with each other, Charlotte came to the ring with a kendo stick and hit Legend and Jax with it which sent them out of the ring. Charlotte hugged Bliss to end the segment, so it looks like she will be part of the WarGames team with Bliss, Ripley, and SKY.
"Really Charlotte?!"@AlexaBliss_WWE is fed up 😲 pic.twitter.com/Jd66GC5sff
