WWE Raw: Cena’s Heel Turn and Major Matches Await Fans in Brussels

BRUSSELS, Belgium — WWE Raw is set to deliver an action-packed episode today at 3 p.m. ET, featuring key appearances and intense matchups as the company builds momentum toward WrestleMania 41, scheduled for April 19-20.

In a dramatic turn of events, Roman Reigns made his first appearance since the Royal Rumble, interrupting a Steel Cage Match between Seth Rollins and CM Punk by dragging Rollins from the ring and attacking him. This unexpected chaos has left fans buzzing ahead of today’s live show.

Today marks the first time John Cena, who turned heel on WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes during the Elimination Chamber, will share the same space as Rhodes. Cena’s last appearance resonated deeply, prompting fans to question his motivations for aligning with The Rock and antagonizing Rhodes. With both stars under one roof, the anticipation for confrontation is palpable.

Cody Rhodes, who referred to Cena as a “goddamn moron” last week, has been waiting for Cena’s return, which raises the stakes for today’s broadcast. Cena’s reception and the potential for verbal sparring or a physical altercation has fans speculating on what the future holds for both wrestlers.

“The fans are eager for answers,” said WWE analyst James Miller. “Cena’s heel turn was significant, and the Resolution on Raw may define his trajectory moving forward.”

Alongside the anticipated interaction between Cena and Rhodes, fans can expect a blockbuster matchup for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Bron Breakker will defend his title against Finn Balor, who recently claimed that Breakker’s championship reign is a product of The Judgment Day’s influence.

“Tonight is about proving that I deserve this title shot,” Balor stated before the match. “I’ll show the world that Bron is a fraud.”

In addition to these headline matches, WWE has scheduled a No Disqualification match between Penta and Ludwig Kaiser, highlighting the fearsome side of Penta while questioning the loyalties of Kaiser. Both competitors eye victory with considerable stakes, especially as WrestleMania approaches.

The lineup also includes a significant match between Jey Uso and Austin Theory, alongside Dakota Kai versus Ivy Nile, both looking to redeem themselves following recent losses.

In a notable segment, Women’s World Champion IYO SKY and Bianca Belair will engage in a contract signing to solidify their championship match at WrestleMania 41. However, with Rhea Ripley lurking, the signing may not proceed without interference.

Seth Rollins is also set to make an appearance after his steel cage victory over CM Punk, where the shadow of Reigns still looms large. Will he acknowledge Reigns’ interruption, or will he focus on current threats?

Additionally, fans are curious about potential surprises, including the continuation of a storyline involving a mystery luchador who assisted the New Day last week. There could be more surprises in store for viewers as hints of a shadowed narrative persist.

WWE Raw streams live globally on Netflix today, starting at 3 p.m. ET, and promises to be a riveting showcase for wrestling enthusiasts. Be sure to tune in, as intrigue continues to build towards WrestleMania 41.
