WWE Raw is going to be eventful this week, as fans are anticipating what John Cena will do for his final Raw in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts. Other than the "Last Time Is Now" Tournament to determine Cena's final opponent, there is also a report circulating about Cena's opponent at Survivor Series being Dirty Dom for the IC Title. Since the IC Title has eluded Cena's career and the last title he needs for a Grand Slam, that could be Cena's next venture. It will also be interesting to see how the new World Champ, CM Punk, responds to Logan Paul joining The Vision last week.
According to Wrestling Observer, Team Punk vs. The Vision and Team AJ Lee vs. Team Becky Lynch are still planned to take place at Survivor Series. As for this week on Raw, four blockbuster matches have been officially scheduled: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Raquel Rodriguez for the World Title, Sheamus vs. Shinsuke Nakamura in the "Last Time Is Now" Tournament Match, Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Kabuki Warriors for the Tag Titles, and Rusev vs. Damian Priest in the "Last Time Is Now" Tournament Match. Without further ado, here are the official Raw Predictions for November 10, 2025.
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Raquel Rodriguez [World Title]
Stephanie Vaquer already ran through Roxanne Perez in a successful title defense, and Raquel Rodriguez is being fed to Vaquer too. The booking indicates that Vaquer always wins against Judgment Day to solidify her role as champ while Nikki Bella always loses against Judgment Day to solidify her role as a veteran. Unfortunately, for Vaquer, her role as champ was overridden by Bella's role as veteran when they lost to Judgment Day in a tag match. This means that Bella is holding her back, and Judgment Day is here to augment the chances of dissension between Vaquer and Bella.
Prediction: Stephanie Vaquer
Sheamus vs. Shinsuke Nakamura [Last Time Is Now Tournament Match]
Sheamus won his first WWE Title against John Cena in a Table Match at TLC back in 2009. Most wrestlers do not win the big chip that quickly, especially against someone of the caliber of Cena, who was considered the face of the WWE at the time. However, Sheamus was an exception to that rule and had an impactful push early on in his career. Shinsuke Nakamura has less history with John Cena, but he did defeat Cena on the August 1, 2017 episode of SmackDown to earn some momentum on his road to his World Title Match against Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam that year.
Although Sheamus has more history with Cena, Nakamura's match with Cena would be a lot more fresh since they only battled once on a televised event in the past. There is really no sufficient storyline reason for either to win this match, but Nakamura has to be wary of The MFTs screwing him in this match and Sheamus has to be wary of Judgment Day screwing him in this match. It really comes down to who is booked stronger in the WWE. WWE has booked Nakamura as a loser upon return without a World Title in his career yet, so Sheamus seems like the more credible winner.
Prediction: Sheamus
Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Kabuki Warriors [Tag Titles]
Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss have had an abysmal reign to the point that most fans would rather watch paint dry on five different walls. There are many teams in the divison for them to feud with, including Bayley and Lyra Valkyria, Judgment Day, Secret Hervice, Giulia and Kiana James, Mia Yim and B-Fab, and now Nia Jax and Lash Legend. The tag division is no longer dead, like it was years ago with only two teams. Yet, Flair and Bliss still find themselves in an uneventful reign. That means the problem is not the division. The problem is the champs themselves, and the drought needs to end.
On the other hand, Kabuki Warriors have been more entertaining in 2025 than they have been any other year. They had a riveting storyline with Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley at Crown Jewel, which genuinely felt like a soap opera that gave General Hospital a run for their money. They also inserted themselves into this title picture in creative ways, including disguising themselves as doctors to get under Flair and Bliss' skin. WWE needs to give them gold as a reward for their efforts, and they can use those titles to add higher stakes to their feud with Sky and Ripley on the road to Mania.
Prediction: Kabuki Warriors
Rusev vs. Damian Priest [Last Time Is Now Tournament Match]
Rusev had his first WrestleMania program with John Cena at WrestleMania 31, where Rusev lost the U.S. Title to Cena in what was the end of his winning streak since joining the main roster. Meanwhile, Damian Priest has no history with Cena, as they have never battled one on one. Although Rusev has more history with Cena, Priest's match with Cena would be a lot more fresh. In fact, Priest is a good example of a rising talent that Cena should have elevated to the next level on his farewell tour.
There is really no sufficient storyline reason for either to win this match, but Rusev has to be wary of Penta screwing him in this match and Priest has to be wary of Aleister Black screwing him in this match. It really comes down to who is booked stronger in the WWE. WWE has booked Rusev as a loser upon return without a World Title in his career yet, so Priest, a former World Champion, seems like the more credible winner. A dream match between them would be more worthwhile in December.
Prediction: Damian Priest
