John Cena will be appearing on Raw next week live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Cena has not appeared on WWE programming since Backlash in May and last appeared on Raw in November at Madison Square Garden which was advertised as his final Raw appearance as an in-ring competitor.

Cena announced the John Cena Classic in May and his appearance next week is most likely tied to that. The event is tentatively set to take place sometime in December.

Raw will air early next week, starting at 6PM ET as they are doing a Smackdown TV taping immediately following the conclusion of Raw. That Smackdown will air on the Friday on the eve of Crown Jewel in Riyadh.
