PWinsider.com is reporting that the word going around on backstage is that John Cena will be the special guest referee for the non-title match between Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. As noted, Lesnar is appearing on tonight’s show to respond to Mahal’s challenge for a match at the upcoming event.
The Raw women are set to take on the Smackdown women at Survivor Series. WWE is planning Sasha Banks vs. Bayley on tonight’s Raw to see who will captain Raw’s team.
There is also expected to be a Raw vs. Smackdown men’s match announced tonight, which could be the reason that Shane McMahon is backstage at Raw.
