WWE Raw Tonight (Nov. 2, 2026): 6 PM Start, John Cena, Roman Reigns & Match Card

WWE Raw is on early tonight. Monday’s November 2, 2026, episode comes to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with a special 6:00 p.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. PT start time on Netflix—two hours ahead of Raw’s usual broadcast window. With WWE Crown Jewel only five days away, the night features an Intercontinental Championship defense, a six-man collision with The Vision, and major appearances from John Cena and World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns.

WWE is billing this Brooklyn date as “Two Shows, One Night”: Raw airs live, while a separate SmackDown taping is scheduled for the same venue afterward. Here’s the confirmed lineup, start time and viewing guide for tonight’s Raw.

WWE Raw November 2: Confirmed Match Card and Segments

Card reflects announced matches and segments as of Monday morning, November 2. WWE may add or change matches before airtime.

Full Preview: Biggest Matches and Storylines

Chad Gable Defends the Intercontinental Championship Against Ethan Page

The championship spotlight belongs to Chad Gable, who faces “All Ego” Ethan Page with the Intercontinental Title at stake. The match follows last week’s escalating issue: Page and Big Cass defeated Gable and Dragon Lee after Gable was neutralized at ringside. Page now gets the opportunity to turn that momentum into singles gold. For Gable, retaining the title would reinforce his standing in a division where opponents are already lining up.

Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee Meet The Vision

Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee team up against The Vision in a six-man tag match. Current lineup reporting identifies Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and Austin Theory as the opposing trio. That confrontation matters beyond tonight: Breakker and Theory are scheduled to defend the World Tag Team Championship against Penta and Evans at Crown Jewel.

Last week, Breakker disrupted Evans’ Undisputed WWE Championship opportunity by attacking Penta, and The Vision followed with a post-match assault. Raw gives the challengers an immediate opportunity to respond ahead of their title match in Saudi Arabia.

Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys: The Bloodline and The 946 Collide

The continuing dispute between The Bloodline and The 946 adds another singles match to the Brooklyn card. Solo Sikoa goes one-on-one with Royce Keys after weeks of personal animosity between the groups. While a victory will matter, the larger question is whether either faction can keep the confrontation contained once the bell rings.

John Cena Returns to Raw for a Special Announcement

John Cena is advertised to appear on Raw for the first time since his in-ring retirement. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has promoted a special announcement from Cena. WWE has not confirmed the content of that announcement, making it one of the episode’s most intriguing segments.

Roman Reigns Addresses Sami Zayn Before Crown Jewel

World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns is scheduled to speak about Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn ahead of their champion-versus-champion meeting at Crown Jewel. Zayn has been on edge in recent weeks, and his controversial victory over Je’Von Evans on October 26 added further questions about his preparation. With the Crown Jewel Men’s Championship at stake on November 7, the final Raw confrontation could set the tone for Saturday’s clash.

How to Watch WWE Raw Live Tonight

In the United States, watch WWE Raw live on Netflix at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, November 2. Open Netflix on a supported television, streaming device, mobile device or browser and select the live Raw program. Existing subscribers can watch within their eligible Netflix plan; Netflix says no separate live-event purchase is required for Raw. Viewers outside the United States should check local Netflix availability and start times.

WWE and Barclays Center separately list a 5:30 p.m. ET arena event start. Fans attending in Brooklyn should use their tickets and venue instructions rather than the streaming start time. The same evening also features an announced SmackDown taping after Raw.

What’s Next: WWE Crown Jewel on November 7

Raw serves as the final Monday stop before WWE Crown Jewel on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Key advertised bouts include Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn for the Men’s Crown Jewel Championship, Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green for the Women’s Crown Jewel Championship, Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match, and Bron Breakker & Austin Theory vs. Penta & Je’Von Evans for the World Tag Team Championship. The Crown Jewel event streams in the United States via the ESPN app with the relevant subscription; Raw itself remains on Netflix.

For Raw, the questions are immediate: Can Gable turn aside Page? Can Penta and Evans gain momentum against The Vision? What will Cena announce, and how will Reigns respond to Zayn before Saturday?
