Next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw is set to air live from the Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina and it’s shaping up to be a big show. It’s been confirmed that John Cena will be making an appearance on Raw as the 17 time champion is expected to announce more invitees for the John Cena Classic. It looks like fans who attend the event will be in for a special treat as WWE just added a huge match to the card.
Ahead of the show the Lenovo Center is advertising that Sami Zayn will be defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in what will presumably be a dark match. The venue posted the following announcement:
“Monday Night RAW returns to Lenovo Center!

Sami Zayn has been taking on all challengers ever since he defeated CM Punk to win the Undisputed WWE Championship for the second time in his career back in September. Zayn has already defended the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens and he has also defended the belt against Cody Rhodes in a dark match, and names like Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams in recent televised matches.
While Sami’s first run with the title only lasted nine days, he’s having much better luck this time around. However, there’s been a lot of speculation regarding how his title reign will come to an end, and you can get more details on what’s being said about Sami dropping the title here.
It’s worth noting that cards are always subject to change. Stay tuned for updates.
