Having won the WWE Championship 17 times, John Cena is finally one match away from retiring from the professional wrestling business. The 17-time champion will be the last wrestler at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13.
The wrestler to face him in the last match is already one step closer to the historic match after the airing of the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, where both semi-finals were scheduled for tonight, and a big surprise was witnessed, particularly in the first match.
LA Knight was the first semi-final winner who made it to the finals after beating Jey Uso in an unexpected match. In the other semi-final match of the night, Gunther and Solo Sikoa clashed with each other.
