Late Bell: Raw Starts at 6, AEW Collision Adds a Title Rematch

By David LaGuerre

The Late Bell for Monday, Nov. 2, 2026: WWE Raw starts early, AEW adds a championship rematch to Collision, CMLL opens the week in Puebla, and NXT adds a December special to the calendar. Stay tuned for all the latest Late Bell wrestling news.

Tonight’s wrestling picture is unusually crowded before the first bell. WWE Raw begins at 6 p.m. EST on Netflix, two hours earlier than its normal start, while CMLL’s Arena Puebla card is scheduled to begin at the same hour for viewers in New York. The clearest late-day update is on Raw: the three members of The Vision in the announced six-man tag are now identified as Bronson Reed, Austin Theory and Bron Breakker.

This edition focuses on changes and final reminders that were not part of the Nov. 2 Morning Bell. It also avoids repeating the full background from the Nov. 1 Late Bell.

WWE Raw: final lineup before the 6 p.m. start

WWE’s official Raw preview confirms that Roman Reigns will address Sami Zayn, John Cena will make a special announcement, and Solo Sikoa will face Royce Keys. WWE has not disclosed what Cena plans to announce, so any claim that it concerns a tournament, retirement plan or other specific subject remains speculation.

Reputable late-day listings from F4WOnline and ProWrestling.net fill out the current card. The key update is that Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee are listed against The Vision’s Bronson Reed, Austin Theory and Bron Breakker. Intercontinental champion Chad Gable is also scheduled to defend against Ethan Page.

Current announced Raw lineup:

  • Chad Gable vs. Ethan Page for the Intercontinental Championship
  • Penta, Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee vs. Bronson Reed, Austin Theory and Bron Breakker
  • Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys
  • Roman Reigns addresses Sami Zayn
  • John Cena makes a special announcement

Raw streams live on Netflix at 6 p.m. EST. The early start is the most important practical note of the evening. Fans who tune in at the normal hour could miss the entire show. WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce also posted an official video preview on X.

CMLL: Arena Puebla starts at 6 p.m. EST

CMLL’s official Arena Puebla listing sets a 5 p.m. local start in Puebla, which is 6 p.m. EST in New York on Monday. The promotion notes that cards are subject to change. Its official event post on X provides the current lineup.

The main event sends Dulce Gardenia, Neón and Templario against Averno, Euforia and Soberano Jr. in a best two-of-three falls match. The semifinal is a three-way match featuring Volador Jr., Capitán Suicida and Máscara Dorada.

Current Arena Puebla card:

  • Dulce Gardenia, Neón and Templario vs. Averno, Euforia and Soberano Jr.
  • Volador Jr. vs. Capitán Suicida vs. Máscara Dorada
  • Hermanos Calavera and Máquina Letal vs. La Fuerza Poblana
  • Espanto Jr., Prayer and Rey Apocalipsis vs. Espíritu Negro, Rey Cometa and Fuego
  • Meyer and Tiger Boy vs. El Hijo del Perverso and El Perverso
  • King Jaguar and Rencor vs. Amnesia and Dreyko

CMLL’s event page provides the venue time but does not present a clear United States broadcast listing. Viewers should check the promotion’s official channels close to bell time rather than assume a stream is available in every region.

AEW Collision adds Andrade vs. Ciampa

AEW has announced a National Championship rematch for Saturday’s Collision. Andrade El Idolo will defend against Tommaso Ciampa aboard the Norwegian Jewel during Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager in Miami. AEW’s official announcement says the match follows Andrade’s WrestleDream victory and Ciampa’s later attack.

The official AEW event calendar still lists the live-event time as TBA, but Warner Bros. Discovery’s November program guide lists Collision for 8 p.m. EST on Nov. 7. AEW’s standard United States distribution is TNT with a simultaneous HBO Max stream. The title rematch is the only match publicly announced for that episode as of this edition.

Before Collision, AEW Dynamite presents Blood & Guts on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 8 p.m. EST on TBS and HBO Max. Both teams have been announced. Because that lineup was covered in Sunday’s Late Bell, the meaningful update here is the addition of the National Championship match to Saturday.

NXT shifts to Wednesday and adds a December TLC special

NXT airs Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 8 p.m. EST on The CW. The announced program includes CM Punk defending the NXT Championship against Grayson Waller, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic final, Kelani Jordan’s open challenge and a six-man tag with Chad Gable, Dragon Lee and Rey Fenix against The Vanity Project. John Cena is also advertised to appear.

The new schedule development is farther ahead. WWE has announced an NXT TLC special for Saturday, Dec. 12, at the WWE Performance Center. The official WWE announcement establishes the date. No match card was announced with that initial notice, so it is too early to attach wrestlers or title bouts to the event.

A separate personnel report also needed clarification. Fred Rosser said in an online statement that he served as a guest coach at the Performance Center, not as a newly hired permanent coach. POST Wrestling reported the correction. That distinction matters because the earlier claim was being repeated as a staffing change.

SmackDown and Crown Jewel

Friday’s SmackDown is scheduled to be taped in Brooklyn after Raw and air Nov. 6 at 8 p.m. EST on USA Network. The most notable announced match is CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens under No Holds Barred rules. Since the match and taping schedule were already included in the previous Late Bell, there is no reason to present them as a new announcement tonight.

WWE Crown Jewel follows Saturday, Nov. 7, at noon EST through the ESPN app and ESPN Unlimited in the United States, with Netflix carrying the event internationally. The four announced matches are Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn, Liv Morgan vs. Chelsea Green, Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match, and Bron Breakker and Austin Theory vs. Penta and Je’Von Evans for the tag team titles.

There is still a venue-label discrepancy across public listings. Current reporting uses ANB Arena, formerly called The Venue, while an older WWE/Netflix listing has retained Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD. Fans attending in person should rely on their current ticket and direct event communication.

TNA, ROH and AAA status check

TNA Impact airs Thursday, Nov. 5, at 9 p.m. EST on AMC, AMC+ and TNA+. The current official lineup includes The Nemeth Brothers vs. Leon Slater and Amazing Red, Fire N Flava vs. Shotzi and Allie, and Eddie Edwards vs. Bear Bronson in a match tied to control of The System. Avery Styles is also advertised for a tag-team debut with Frankie Kazarian, although TNA had not identified their opponents in the accessible announcement. No additional official card change was found by deadline.

ROH holds an HonorClub television taping Tuesday, Nov. 3, at WJCT Studios in Jacksonville. Doors are listed for 4:30 p.m. EST, with wrestling expected around 5 p.m. The event listing does not provide a match card, and a taping time should not be confused with a live broadcast time.

AAA’s Final Show 2026 remains set for Sunday, Nov. 8, at 5 p.m. local time at Showcenter Complex in Monterrey. The venue promotion names Psycho Clown, Psycho Circus vs. Los Vipers, and Fiscal vs. Abismo Negro among the attractions. A complete card and a confirmed United States broadcast plan were not available in the public official listing checked for this edition.

What is confirmed, reported and still rumor

Confirmed: WWE’s early Raw start and its official preview items; AEW’s Andrade vs. Ciampa announcement; CMLL’s Arena Puebla time and card; and WWE’s Dec. 12 NXT TLC date all come from promotion or rightsholder sources.

Reported: The complete Raw lineup, including the three named Vision members, is supported by multiple established wrestling outlets. Fred Rosser’s guest-coach clarification comes from Rosser’s own statement and subsequent reporting.

Rumor: This edition does not elevate unverified faction talk or guesses about Cena’s announcement. Until WWE states the subject, it is simply a special announcement.

Social-media note: Accessible official Instagram Reels or TikTok posts suitable for a dependable native embed were not found for the late-breaking items in this edition. TikTok access also prevented reliable embed verification. The article therefore uses direct links to official promotion posts on X and does not download, reupload or alter social video.
