On this week’s episode of Smackdown Live, several more names were announced for the Raw 25th anniversary show taking place in less than 2 weeks. The Godfather, Brother Love, The Boogeyman, Teddy Long, Ted DiBiase, John Laurinaitis, and Sgt Slaughter were announced on Tuesday.
Names already announced include The Undertaker, DeGeneration X, Jim Ross, Jerry “The King” Lawler, The Dudley Boyz, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, The Bella Twins, The New Age Outlaws, The APA, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Other names expected to be there but not yet announced include Bret “The Hitman” Hart, Mick Foley and Sean Waltman. This will be a loaded show because it’s also the go-home show for the Royal Rumble. John Cena and Brock Lesnar are also scheduled to appear and Roman Reigns will defend the Intercontinental Championship against The Miz.
One quick note…there was a rumor going around earlier about the Raw 25 show being a 5-hour show. That is incorrect and the show will be 3 hours as usual.
