John Cena To Kick Off Monday’s WWE Raw, Nikki Bella Appearance Set

John Cena is set to open this week’s episode of WWE Raw, which has also added an appearance by Nikki Bella. Raw GM Adam Pearce announced Sunday morning on Twitter that the retiring WWE star will kick off the show.

Cena also posted to Twitter to promote the show, writing:

“Tomorrow night on @netflix is the end of an era in WWE. Don’t miss the final episode of #WWERaw U will ever C ME perform in. No better stage than the iconic @TheGarden to chant “Let’s Go Cena” or “Cena Sucks!”

“Whatever it is, The Last Time is Now because after this … I can’t wrestle”

In addition, Pearce noted that Bella, who turned heel last week, will speak. Pearce said of Bella:

“Everyone’s asking the same question: ‘Why, Nikki Bella, why?’ What, pray tell, would the Hall of Famer possibly have to say for herself after her blindside attack of the Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer? Tune in to hear the excuses for yourself.”

Monday night’s show is Cena’s final Raw appearance before his retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13th. Raw airs on Monday night from Madison Square Garden in New York City. The show airs live on Netflix, and the card is below:

* WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Match: Becky Lynch vs. Maxxine Dupri.
* The Last Time is Now tournament Match: Solo Sikoa vs. TBA.
* The Last Time is Now tournament Match: Gunther vs. Je’Von Evans.
* John Cena opens the show.
* We’ll hear from Nikki Bella.
