WWE announced that they will be running a special edition of Monday Night RAW on July 22nd. This will be the ‘RAW Reunion’ show and it will be taking place in Tampa Bay, Florida.
We have some more details to pass your way about the special.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio (subscribe here), this special was pitched by the USA Network and wasn’t the idea of WWE.
USA Network has been pitching some ideas over the past few months to help increase ratings. The 24/7 Title was one of these ideas that WWE has used and the ‘RAW Reunion’ special is another.
Meltzer notes that there is talk within WWE of there being 35 or more Superstars booked for the special. That means we can expect a packed show.
Here is the updated list of names that are being advertised:
- Booker T
- Christian
- D-Von Dudley
- Eric Bischoff
- Hulk Hogan
- Hurricane Helms
- Jerry Lawler
- Jimmy Hart
- Kevin Nash
- Kurt Angle
