Lesnar’s New Endorsement Deal + WWE-MSG Changes

— WWE’s Raw house show next Tuesday in Madison Square Garden has a new updated line-up, which includes Mick Foley and the Bella Twins as official guest hosts. The show has also added a match between John Cena and Kane. Cena was in the main event as a four-way steel cage match for the WWE Title against C.M. Punk, Alberto Del Rio and The Miz but is no longer involved in that match and it’s now a three-way.
