Two WWE superstars have progressed to the semifinals of the “Last Time is Now” tournament, which aims to select John Cena’s final challenger. Following the first round, the quarterfinals began on the November 24th episode of WWE Raw in Oklahoma City, featuring matches exclusively from the right side of the tournament bracket. Gunther, who previously defeated Jevon Evans, won his quarterfinal clash against Carmelo Hayes, who had beaten Bronson Reed. The second quarterfinal tonight will be between Solo Sikoa and Penta, both of whom triumphed over Dolph Ziggler and Finn Balor respectively; however, this match is still ongoing as Raw airs live, and results will be updated post-match. The left side quarterfinals are scheduled for Friday’s SmackDown episode, recorded earlier, featuring Jey Uso vs. Rusev and LA Knight vs. a surprise opponent after Sheamus withdrew due to injury. The tournament winner will face John Cena in the final showdown at WWE Saturday Night on December 13th.
Fan Take: This tournament is a thrilling way to build anticipation for John Cena’s final opponent, adding high stakes and excitement for WWE fans. It also highlights rising talents who could become future stars, making it an important moment for WWE’s competitive landscape and storytelling.
