During last night’s episode of WWE RAW, newly-crowned Intercontinental Champion John Cena announced that next month’s Saturday Night’s Main Event special will feature main roster stars issuing open challenges to NXT stars. Cena emphasized that this special will showcase the future of WWE by giving NXT talents the same opportunities he had when he began his main roster career.
While Cena did not reveal any specific competitors for the matches, he confirmed that he will have his retirement match at the same event. Competitors will battle in the "Last Time Is Now" tournament for a chance to face him. The show is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., and will air on Peacock.
