What's the story?

WWE celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Monday Night Raw tomorrow night and whilst the WWE Universe is excited about one of the most anticipated shows this year and the legends that could be returning to be part of the show it seems that WWE COO Triple H has been hard at work putting the show together and he recently shared this process publically.

In case you didn't know...

The 25th Anniversary of Monday Night Raw has been advertised for a number of months with WWE obviously planning everything for the show well in advance and inviting back some of the biggest stars of the past two decades.

The show is set to be just three hours long which is why the company has recently announced that there will be a kickoff show as part of the event because it seems that WWE had a problem fitting everything into the event.

It has already been announced that stars from Raw and SmackDown will be in attendance as well as a number of former WWE superstars and some of the biggest legends in the business.

The heart of the matter

Triple H recently spoke to Rolling Stone about the logistics that go into creating an episode of this calibre.

He said: “When you take 25 years of memorable moments and characters, trying to boil that down to a three-hour Raw episode being simulcast and in two places, how do you whittle that down to certain people and times and events? You can't get everybody, and you're going to get a lot of people who go, "I can't believe they didn't do this and talk about that." It's 25 years. You just can't do it all. I can tell you what it will be: It will be one hell of a celebration."

It seems Triple H is also feeling the same way as many of the WWE Universe who have stated that there are a number of legends who deserve to be in attendance but obviously can't be.

"Boy, if you're gonna make a list of the people who aren't here who can't be a part of this, it's a fairly long list. I wish they were, but it's been 25 years, so people who had a big contribution unfortunately are no longer here. But no different than anything else in life, the celebration is for living and now. It's the excitement for what the people who are here now have accomplished. It doesn't mean that the other people didn't contribute in dramatic ways. Again, 25 years, we're gonna miss stuff, and I wish everybody could participate in it and celebrate with us, but it just can't be."

What's next?

WWE celebrates their 25th Anniversary tomorrow night and the show will start an hour early because of the kickoff show. There will be a number of legends in attendance for the event as well as the Intercontinental Championship match between Roman Reigns and The Miz.

Author's take

Triple H is one of the best wrestling minds in the business right now, that has been proved by the fact that he has made NXT in a phenomenon. Raw's 25th Anniversary will definitely be something that the WWE Universe will remember for the next few years and it seems that with Triple H being one of the biggest minds behind it, it definitely won't disappoint.

An unexpected name just challenged Randy Orton RIGHT HERE.
