"The first "Raw" of the post-John Cena era of WWE gave the fans in Hershey, Pennsylvania, something to boo right out the gate when Gunther took the ring after the biggest win of his career. The crowd was not interested in letting "The Ring General" gloat about ending the career of the greatest wrestler of all time, but he did anyway, in perfect heel fashion."
"The WWE universe has been wondering aloud since Saturday Night's Main Event if Gunther really needed to tap out Cena in his final match. Couldn't we have one more "Super Cena" comeback and victory for old times' sake? The "Raw" crowd on Monday made it clear why that couldn't happen. Every time Gunther brought the microphone to his mouth for his promo, he was loudly booed by the Hershey audience, who didn't care to hear him out."
"A mystery was solved to close the show when the masked man's identity was revealed to be Austin Theory. The timing of the unmasking was a bit puzzling, but with three weeks until Bron Breakker takes on CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship on the Jan. 5 edition of "Raw" and more than a month until Royal Rumble, how Theory fits in with The Vision's plans is yet to be seen."
The post-John Cena edition of Raw featured Gunther taking center stage and receiving loud boos after his biggest career win. The Usos defeated The New Day in a tag team match, extending their rivalry. Maxxine Dupri retained the Women's Intercontinental Championship over Ivy Nile by submission. Stephanie Vaquer and Raquel Rodriguez had a WWE Women's World Championship match that ended in a no-contest. Logan Paul scored a major pinfall victory over Rey Mysterio. A masked wrestler was unmasked as Austin Theory, creating questions about his role ahead of Bron Breakker vs. CM Punk and the Royal Rumble.
