Opening segment, Nikki Bella appearance announced for WWE Raw
The opening segment for WWE Raw has been announced.
As he did for last week’s episode, John Cena will kick off Monday’s show. Cena isn’t scheduled for a match, but has insinuated in social media posts that his final Raw match will take place tomorrow night in Madison Square Garden.
Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced the news in his weekly run down of the lineup on Sunday.
“John will kick off the broadcast tomorrow night,” Pearce said in the video.
Pearce also revealed that Nikki Bella will be on Raw to discuss her turning on Stephanie Vaquer on last week’s show.
“What, pray tell, would the Hall of Famer possibly have to say for herself after her blindside attack on Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer? To hear the excuses for yourself, tune in,” Pearce said.
The updated lineup is below:
