A massive episode of Raw from Boston featured epic title changes, huge John Cena developments and both the men and women's War Games matches taking shape.
Brian Mazique has covered combat sports and video games since 2011.MONTREAL, CANADA - AUGUST 8: John Cena acknowledges the crowd during SmackDown at Bell Centre on August 8, 2025 in Montreal, Canada. Both the men and women’s WarGames match takes shape.
After an epic episode of Monday Night Raw in the GOAT’s hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, we have new champions and additional layers added to John Cena’s Farewell Tour.John Cena is the New Intercontinental Champion WWE is getting every last inch of mileage out of John Cena’s Farewell Tour and the latest layer was added on Cena made history on Monday winning the Intercontinental title after defeating Dominik Mysterio in an impromptu match. The win was big beyond it begin a title change. The victory made Cena a Grand Slam champion as the IC title was the only one he hadn’t won. His championship status also gives Cena’s final match even higher stakes. The December 13 clash will now be for the IC title and the right to retire the GOAT.Saturday Night’s Main Event Got Cooler We know Cena will face the winner of the LTIN Tournament, but in addition to that, according to Cena, established Superstars will take on choice talent from NXT. That could be epic. I’m imagining Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Ethan Page and perhaps Ricky Saints along with Jaida Parker, Sol Ruca, Zaria, Tatum Paxley and Blake Monroe.Rusev and Sheamus Advance in the LTIN Tournament In an underwhelming, predictably clunky match, Rusev knocked off Priest after poking the latter in his compromised left eye. Let’s hope the rest of the tournament is a bit better. Shinsuke Nakamura and Sheamus put on a much better match. The latter advanced, but it is unclear whether he’ll face Rusev.CM Punk, Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes will be taking on The Vision with Logan Paul for War Games. It feels like one more person has to be added on both sides. I’m betting that’s Roman Reigns and perhaps Drew McIntyre on the heel side. I’m not overly thrilled with this star-studded setup unless it branches into some heavy storylines like a Rhodes or Uso heel turn.Stephanie Vaquer successfully defended her Women’s World title against Raquel Rodriguez. It was an excellent match. After Vaquer got the win, Roxanne Perez attacked her and Nikki Bella came for the save. However, moments later she turned on Vaquer hitting her in the face with the title belt. This is not a great angle for Vaquer. This feels like Becky Lynch’s feud with Trish Stratus. Lynch had to carry that feud and because she’s the best female wrestler in history, she was able to make it acceptable. That’s a lot to ask of Vaquer and Bella is even less capable than Stratus, or so it would seem. We’ll find out.Adam Pearce announced Je’Von Evans will take on Gunther in one of the matchups. the other matchup will have Solo Sikoa facing a mystery opponent. I’d love to see Evans get the push and to be allowed to have the final spot against Cena. However, it’s tough to imagine him going over in a match with the returning Gunther. We’ll find out.Kabuki Warriors dethroned Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss with the help of Lash Legend and Nia Jax. The four women started pounding on Flair and Bliss only for Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley to come to the rescue, and there you have it. It appears the women’s WarGames match is set, unless another person is added on both sides.Damien Priest to advance in The Last Time is Now TournamentSheamus def.
