The January 7th, 2019 episode of WWE RAW aired live from the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. Here are 5 takeaways from the show:
5John Cena Will Be In The Royal Rumble
John Cena came down to the ring to his usual reaction from the crowd. Cena welcomed everyone to the Road to WrestleMania and said that he will be damned if he gets left out of WrestleMania again this year.
Cena announced that he will be in the Royal Rumble match later this month at the PPV. Drew Mcintyre interrupted and said that he doesn’t care about John’s stupid haircut or who he shares his bed with. McIntyre brought up Vince McMahon calling Cena the greatest of all time and claimed that he agreed with him.
McIntyre boasted about dismantling The Shield, Dolph Ziggler, and Kurt Angle. Drew referred to himself as the most dangerous man in WWE and stated that he has come for Cena now. McIntyre made his way down the entrance ramp as Cena said that he has heard this same promo over and over again. McIntyre said the rest of the Superstars that challenged Cena were all talk and he is going to show him.

Cena and McIntyre had a great promo tonight and I wouldn’t mind seeing that feud somewhere down the line. Unfortunately, the promo was immediately followed up with a 6-man tag match that felt meaningless and took up about 40 minutes.
