One top WWE star has returned to Raw after claiming to have taken a break for their own mental health.

WWE Raw in Madison Square Garden will go down in history for a whole host of reasons. The show marked the final match for John Cena on the red brand as he teamed with Sheamus and Rey Mysterio to defeat The Judgment Day’s Finn Balor, JD McDonagh, and Dominik Mysterio.

The show also saw Maxxine Dupri shock the world and capture the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship from Becky Lynch. Dupri had more than a little help from AJ Lee, who returned to the show to cost Lynch her gold.

Former World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler returned to WWE as part of the Last Time Is Now tournament. However, Ziggler won’t be getting back in the ring with John Cena, as he lost to Solo Sikoa. The other first-round match in that tournament saw Gunther compete for the first time since SummerSlam as he defeated Je’Von Evans.

But there was also a lower-key return on the show as The New Day was back to full strength. It had been claimed Xavier Woods had taken a break for his own mental health, but now he was back to his usual self as he joined Kofi Kingston and Grayson Waller to run down the New York Knicks.
