Monday Night Raw 11/17/2025
Becky Lynch, The Vision (with Logan Paul and Drew McIntyre), Solo Sikoa & Talla Tonga, and Gunther arrived at Madison Square Garden. Lynch complained to a staff member that her picture wasn’t on the hallway walls alongside other wrestlers. She stuck a photo of herself over a CM Punk poster. It’s a packed house, so the stage just consists of a relatively small screen. John Cena kicks off Raw for the final time Cena entered to a massive ovation. Chants of his name, “Thank you

NXT is on the air from the Performance Center in Orlando in front of a live studio audience. The results and happenings at NXT Halloween Havoc are recapped in a video package. It somewhat reminded me of WCW Halloween Havoc in 1999 since both shows were overbooked. After the canned intro, Trick Williams is in the television control room ranting and raving at production staff. Trick is hijacking the show like he is NWO in 1996. He screams about this being his house, and he runs

Live in front of a sell-out crowd in Anaheim, California. CM Punk & Jey Uso Face to Face. The vacant World Championship belt was on a podium in the ring. Can I make the bold suggestion that while the crowd really digs the entrance, it’s kind of death for the viewer at home with nothing happening. As I typed that, Jey “ran it back” so between the recaps to start the show and Jey’s entrance, nothing really happened for almost ten minutes. Jey finally welcomed us to “Mon-Jey Ni

NXT Halloween Havoc 2025
It’s the event that brought you such classics as Van Hammer vs Doug Sommers (1991) and Hollywood Hogan vs Warrior (1998). From the makers of NXT, it’s Halloween Havoc! The legally mandated footage of wrestlers arriving to work was shown (and not very spookily, I might add), this time updated with Blake Monroe getting her makeup put on! Seriously though, the set looked very cool and it was fun to see all the costumes in the crowd, including Vic Joseph’s sweet Riddler outfit. J

(I watched One Battle After Another over the weekend, and there’s a minor character without a speaking role who wears an Eddie Guerrero ‘Latino Heat’ t-shirt. The character isn’t named, but is referred to as ‘Latino Heat’ by another character. Anyway, time for morning Raw.) Following a recap of Crown Jewel, CM Punk, LA Knight, Jey Uso, and Rhea Ripley were shown arriving. Michael Cole announced a sold-out crowd of 13,737 (54 more people than Crown Jewel, supposedly).

COUNTDOWN SHOW There was an establishing shot of the city, wrestlers arriving, and an intro narrated by Tom Rinaldi — all things I’m sure we’ll see again when the actual show starts.
