WWE will bring next week’s episode of Monday Night Raw live from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. However, as you may have heard, it won’t be any regular old episode as WWE has announced that show as a Raw Reunion, where multiple legends from the past will appear.
The list of legends includes Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley and many more. While Raw is getting better and better every week with Paul Heyman at the helm, the Raw Reunion will do a great deal of good in terms of ratings for the show.
The USA network executives are responsible for WWE holding this special event. It appears to be a desperate move by WWE and the USA network to improve the ratings for the red brand.
The WWE legends are always well received by the fans when they make surprise appearances. We can also be sure that the old-school fans will tune in to the show to watch their favorite superstars from back in the day return for the big reunion. With that in mind, here are five things that should happen during the Raw Reunion.
#5 Multiple legends win the 24/7 Championship
Though it received severe criticism when Mick Foley first introduced the 24/7 Championship, it has become an integral part of the show right from the get-go. R-Truth and Drake Maverick are killing it every week with their hilarious segments, trying to take the title from each other in the craziest of situations.
Every week a mob of superstars chases down the 24/7 Champion, and this week we'd love to see a few legends trading the title amongst themselves. Santino Marella, The Hurricane, and Rikishi could be just a few of the names to vie for - and possibly win - the 24/7 title at the Raw Reunion, and they could drop the title back to R-Truth at the end of the show.
#4 Bray Wyatt confronts Finn Balor in his normal Firefly Funhouse persona
After weeks of teasing, Bray Wyatt made his return to WWE on this week’s episode of Raw. He appeared in his Fiend avatar and nailed a Sister Abigail on an unsuspecting Finn Balor. According to various reports, the two will meet in a match at SummerSlam 2019.
Balor had reportedly asked for a two-month break, to which WWE had agreed on the condition that Balor puts over Wyatt at SummerSlam. So, that could be the reason behind the Fiend targeting Balor on this past week’s Raw.
It’s not for certain tha Balor will be in his Demon King gimmick at SummerSlam, but we’ll get the answer in the coming weeks. With Bray Wyatt portraying two characters, we can expect him to appear in his normal Firefly Funhouse host persona to confront Finn Balor on next week’s Raw.
#3 Undertaker's SummerSlam opponent revealed
The Undertaker and Roman Reigns defeated Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre in a No Holds Barred tag team match at Extreme Rules this past Sunday. The Deadman was reportedly very happy after the bout, and everyone at gorilla position gave him a standing ovation when he made his way backstage after the match.
After the forgettable match with Goldberg at Super ShowDown, the Undertaker gave an outstanding performance at Extreme Rules and proved that he has still got it. Now, the speculations turns towards his opponent for SummerSlam.
The Undertaker made it clear that Roman Reigns is not his next target after declaring WWE as the Big Dog's yard after the match at Extreme Rules. There are also conflicting reports about Drew McIntyre to be the that opponent, but WWE has not revealed their decision as of yet.
We can expect the Undertaker to be present at the Raw Reunion, and we could find out who will take on the Deadman at the WWE's biggest party of the summer.
#2 Ronda Rousey attacks Natalya and takes her SummerSlam spot
According to various reports, former Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey’s WWE return is inevitable, and we could see the baddest woman on the planet earlier than expected. We haven’t seen Rousey in a WWE ring since she lost the main event triple threat match to Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 35. Judging from the reports, the chances of her returning on or before SummerSlam are high.
The announced Natalya vs. Becky Lynch match does not sound like a good match for a high-profile event like SummerSlam, but there should be a strong reason behind WWE choosing the Queen of Harts to challenge Lynch for the title.
Ronda Rousey and Natalya were on-screen best friends during Rousey's first run, and if WWE is working on a surprise Rousey return, having Natalya in the SummerSlam title picture makes perfect sense.
If the rumors are true, next week could be the right opportunity for Rousey to make her return by attacking Natalya and taking her SummerSlam spot to book an encounter with Becky Lynch.
#1 Kevin Owens and Stone Cold Steve Austin raise hell with a Stunner party
Kevin Owens has been getting on the wrong side of Shane McMahon for the past two weeks, going on a verbal tirade about the Best in the World having more TV time than the other superstars. He is using a familiar weapon which terrorized the McMahon family in the past, the Stunner.
The original owner of the move, Stone Cold Steve Austin, will be at the Raw Reunion, and the fans are expecting him to have a moment with Kevin Owens on the show. Austin himself had a positive reaction to Owens using his move in the following tweet:
We can expect Vince McMahon to be on the show and, as we saw on the Raw 25th-anniversary, Austin could be in the mood to stun the boss. This time he could publicly bequeath the move to Kevin Owens, and both of them could raise hell with a Stunner Party on the McMahon family.
