Need to know what happened on Christmas Day’s episode of WWE Raw? Find out right here.

Previously on WWE Raw, Seth Rollins wrestled for like half the show. Dean Ambrose got hurt. Hideo Itami made a surprise debut. Brock Lesnar got two opponents for Royal Rumble. And Stephanie McMahon made sure she was the most important person on the show when she announced the first ever women’s Royal Rumble match.

This week, you’ll probably notice that this is not a live updating review of Raw. Sorry, folks, but a live broadcast of Raw on Christmas Day? Not going to happen. Once the guests all leave my house, I can sit down, relax, and subject myself to three hours of WWE’s alleged finest before hitting the hay.

Heading into this final Raw of 2017, we knew John Cena would make his return to the show. Cena hasn’t been seen on Monday nights since losing to Roman Reigns at No Mercy back in September. And the free agent had a “thanks for stopping by” moment at Survivor Series as a member of Team SmackDown. But with WWE looking to get eyes on the product on a major holiday, Cena is the ace in the hole.

And that’s all we actually know about this week’s episode before it starts. WWE is obviously playing things close to the vest for the holiday. Will Roman Reigns defend the Intercontinental Championship? What’s next for Bray Wyatt and Woken Matt Hardy? Are any returns or debuts forthcoming?

Let’s get right into this week’s action on WWE Raw with John Cena starting things off.
