During Extreme Rules 2019, the commentators announced that a very special edition of Monday Night Raw would take place on July 22. On that episode, fans will be witness to the largest reunion in WWE history. The episode is being dubbed as "Raw Reunion" and will stream live at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Raw Reunion is taking place for quite a few reasons. Firstly, WWE wants to maintain and increase fan interest heading out of Extreme Rules. More importantly, according to Dave Meltzer, the USA Network demanded that WWE pull their socks up and do something about the plummeting ratings. Raw Reunion was WWE's best solution to the above-mentioned dilemma.

Needless to say, WWE is pulling out all the stops to make this show must-see. A myriad of Hall of Famers and legends are expected to appear on the show. This list includes the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ted Dibiase, Scott Hall, Ric Flair, The Dudley Boyz, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Rikishi, Mick Foley and Jimmy Hart. Also, Santino Marella, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Booker T, and Mark Henry are slated to return to television. Alundra Blayze, Kelly Kelly and Lillian Garcia are also expected to be a part of the celebration. These are just a few of the names expected to appear. More than around 25 stars from the past are expected to appear on the show. However, some stars have declined the offer to appear at the show. Jim Ross is one of them.

As Raw Reunion is expected to be a memorable show for the ages, you could expect WWE to pull off a few shockers.

Having said that, let's look at 3 things that could happen at Raw Reunion.


3. Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kevin Owens attack Shane McMahon.

If there is one star on the current WWE roster that can be compared to Steve Austin, it has to be Kevin Owens. Owens' recent reinvigorated character is somewhat reminiscent of Austin's anti-hero persona. The two stars even have the same finishing move, the Stunner, even though Owens copied it from Austin. Owens is currently tormenting and insulting Shane McMahon, the Vince's son and one of the key authority figures on WWE programming. We all know the history Austin has with the McMahons. Hence, Austin would love to assist Owens in torturing Shane.

As Austin is expected to appear on the show, this scenario is possible. Austin could kick off the show, only to be interrupted by Shane. Owens could decide to interrupt Shane and then chaos would ensue. After Owens and Austin insult Shane, both could stun Shane and then share a beer.

2. Drew McIntyre confronts The Undertaker and attacks him.

Okay, we know that The Undertaker isn't advertised for Raw Reunion, but WWE would be asinine if Taker didn't show up. You can't have a reunion without one of the all-time greats in the Dead Man. However, given that Taker has been so actively involved in recent months, it would be safe to assume that he will make an appearance at Raw Reunion.

McIntyre recently took jabs at Taker, claiming that he didn't care about the Dead Man and that he certainly didn't fear him. At Extreme Rules, Taker and Roman Reigns defeated the duo of Shane McMahon and McIntyre. It must be noted that McIntyre wasn't pinned in the No Holds Barred tag team match, it was Shane. McIntyre held his own against the Dead Man and even hit him with a Claymore at one point in the match.

McIntyre must feel that he has unfinished business with Taker. Hence, he could call out The Dead Man next Monday. As the Dead Man and the Scottish Psychopath stare down in the ring, McIntyre could lay him out with the Glasgow Kiss suddenly and follow it up with a Claymore. This would set up a match between Taker and McIntyre at SummerSlam.

1.The Club ruins a D-Generation X reunion.

Among the long list of legends appearing at Raw Reunion, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Road Dogg and X-Pac are a part of them. A DX reunion is always a possibility, but that has happened many times. Hence, WWE would be wise to do more with these Hall of Famers.

One of the hottest stables in WWE today is the Club. AJ Styles and his comrades, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, have been so dominant and impressive since Styles' heel turn. However, it would be an awe-inspiring moment to see them stand face to face with one of the most dominant factions in WWE history, D- Generation X.

As DX reunites once again, the Club could arrive to spoil the reunion. Styles could then trash-talk the four stars and threaten them like he always does. A brawl could ensue after that which would see The Club stand tall over the fallen DX members.
