We’ve known since the end of October that the 25th anniversary of WWE Raw is coming up, and that WWE has some extremely big plans for that show — which is now suddenly just two weeks away (and will end up being the go-home show for the Royal Rumble.
There has been some serious speculation that the Undertaker — who we’ve known for a long time will appear on the show — will perhaps use the 25th anniversary of Raw to set up one more match in his storied career, likely laying down a challenge for WrestleMania 34 if it is indeed happening.
We’ve also known for a while that there will be a whole gaggle of legends and Hall of Famers and fan favorites returning for Raw 25, but during Monday’s episode of Raw, WWE announced a whole lot more.
In addition to all of the returning stars, there will also be a WWE Intercontinental Championship match between Roman Reigns and challenger the Miz … in addition to, you know, this being the final episode of Raw before the Royal Rumble. Here is the list of legends who are set to appear as of Tuesday:
– Stone Cold Steve Austin
– The Undertaker
– Ric Flair
– Jim Ross
– Jerry Lawler
– Kevin Nash
– Scott Hall
– The Bella Twins
– JBL
– Ron Simmons
– The Dudley Boyz
– D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and the New Age Outlaws)
Brock Lesnar and John Cena will also be there, which probably counts as “special legends who aren’t normally on Raw,” and we can probably expect another half-dozen guests or so, but my word, this is certainly one heck of a start. Hell, maybe the Rock will stop by! (The Rock will probably not stop by, but maybe he’ll send a nice video message.)
