Next weeks episode of Monday Night RAW will be the go-home show for the No Mercy Pay-Per-View. This will be WWE’s last chance to build excitement for the event. It turns out that RAW next week might be missing two of the biggest stars on the roster.
Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), says that Brock Lesnar currently isn’t scheduled to be on RAW next week.
According to Meltzer, Brock filmed some stuff this week that will likely be used for next weeks show in his absence. There is always the chance WWE could pay Brock to appear at the last minute, but right now there are no plans for him to be there live.
Also, RAW next week could be without John Cena. Cena will be in China for the Smackdown Live event on Sunday night at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. When details of Cena’s post-Summerslam schedule came out a few weeks ago, this was the only RAW that he wasn’t scheduled for.

Cena will be an interesting one because WWE could attempt to fly him back in time for the show. California to China is a 12 hour (plus) flight, so it will be a very close call.

Certainly interesting that WWE could be without two of the biggest names on the No Mercy card for the go-home show. We will have to wait and see.
