4 Things WWE should do at RAW Reunion

Would be great if these happened

The WWE RAW reunion is just about to get underway and it looks like it could very well be a cracking show. As of this writing, there are 35 legends set to make an appearance, and the list reads like a who's who of the greats, including Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sgt. Slaughter, Booker T and many more.

With it set to be a pretty big episode, one would have to assume that WWE is planning some big moments and segments for the night. And I am sure we will see some very entertaining and well put together segments, but I wouldn't be a writer or fan if I couldn't think of a few things myself that would be really fun and epic to see on the big show.

So, here are four things I would love to see WWE do at the RAW Reunion show.

#4 An nWo Reunion

Well, they did say 4 Life
Well, they did say 4 Life

WWE have announced several huge names for tonight's WWE RAW Reunion special. Two frequent guest stars for these kind of shows over the years have been WWE Hall of Famers Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.

However, as far as WWE TV goes, it has been years since they were joined by the immortal Hulk Hogan. Following Hogan's controversial parting of the ways with WWE in 2015, we wouldn't see the Hulkster again on WWE programming until WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia last year. And we wouldn't see him make an appearance of RAW until early this year to honor the late 'Mean' Gene Okerlund.

So because of this, it has been a very long time since we have seen the black and white nWo on WWE TV. And not only are Hall and Nash booked for RAW Reunion tonight, but Hulk Hogan is too!

I think it would be a wasted opportunity to not have an nWo reunion tonight. There are several possibilities if it was to happen, maybe even a segment with The Club. They have always said nWo 4 Life, so why not 4 tonight?

#3 WWE Legends Challenge For The 24/7 Championship

Coming back for it?

Although it had a rocky first week or two, WWE fans have come to love the WWE 24/7 Championship belt and the weekly shenanigans that follow it. Some are even calling it the best part of RAW and SmackDown today.

When WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley first introduced the Championship earlier this summer, he revealed that absolutely anyone was open to challenge for it, including WWE legends. So I can't imagine a better night for this to be put to test, and maybe even see some legends actually win the title.

We have already seen WWE legend and agent The Hurricane attempt to win it at the San Diego Comic Con over the weekend, and Foley himself has teased chasing the Championship on Twitter.

With a huge host of WWE legends appearing on RAW, some who are even still active in the ring, it would be hilarious to see them challenge and even win the Championship.

#2 Surprise Appearances

WWE hiding anyone?

This isn't the first time WWE has ever done a show like this. There have been a couple other reunions over the years, as well as special anniversary shows.

What made a lot of the anniversary/reunion shows in the past better than today was that WWE never really announced who would be in it. Now they did announce some of the bigger names like Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and others, but they kept returning mid-card talent and even some bigger names as a surprise.

Most recently, the 25 anniversary episode of WWE RAW in 2018 featured a huge list of legends and former talent. And while they were right to announce names such as Austin, did they really think they would bring in more viewers by announcing names like MVP, or Lillian Garcia?

Don't get me wrong, while it was fun to see talent like those, it wasn't necessary to announce them beforehand.

Tonight's WWE RAW Reunion seems to be following the same formula, as while they have rightly announced names like Austin and Hogan, they have also announced stars like Mark Henry and The Godfather, who, as entertaining as they are, wouldn't really put any extra people on seats for a show like this.

Hopefully there will be some unannounced names set to appear, because just appearing out of the blue is often far more fun than being announced beforehand.

#1 More For Legends To Do

Brought back to assemble?

WWE RAW Reunion will be a big show, no doubt about it. And while many fans say that 3 hours of RAW every week is too much, this will be a rare occasion where it probably won't be enough.

While many fans praised the 25 anniversary of RAW last year for its in-ring appearances of Stone Cold Steve Austin and D-Generation X, there were many others who barely got any time.

These legends got so little time that instead of appearing in a backstage segment or in-ring segment, they were just given a tiny bit of time to assemble on stage. Here they literately just stood on the ramp on the entrance, being announced and clapped for.

This happened several times throughout the show, most notably for women's wrestlers of the past and former WWE RAW General Managers. The segments took in a negative feedback from fans online, so hopefully WWE will learn from this mistake and instead, come up with something far more entertaining.
