WWE announced that John Cena will return to WWE RAW on November 2, 2026, live from Brooklyn, New York.
This is the final RAW show before Crown Jewel 2026, which has sparked speculation about his involvement. Today, John Cena commented on the matter by confirming that he will be present for the John Cena Classic.
He wrote on Twitter :
”Don’t miss WWE RAW next week. SPECIAL START TIME AT MIDNIGHT! The wait is over, the speculation ends on 11/2. Let’s build this NEVER SEEN CLASSIC! Our time is NOW!”
For several months now, fans have been awaiting confirmation about the John Cena Classic. The famous tournament that John Cena had announced to spotlight the new generation where fans can vote for the best wrestler of the night.
Last week, it was learned that WWE was considering two potential dates for the event. One can imagine that next Monday John Cena will indeed confirm the date to start ticket sales.
Make sure not to miss #WWERaw next week. SPECIAL START TIME OF 6PM EST! The wait is over, the speculation ends 11/2.
Let’s build this “Never Seen” CLASSIC!
OUR time is NOW! https://t.co/Th5rwBhTIQ— John Cena (@JohnCena) October 27, 2026
A Show That Starts Earlier
As a reminder, RAW on November 2 starts earlier and it’s not due to time zone differences.
RAW will start at midnight Paris time or 6 PM Montreal time on Netflix because WWE will then record SmackDown’s show on November 6. A scheduling change to allow the wrestlers to travel to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel.
So you won’t want to be late to miss John Cena’s announcement!
