WWE is preparing for a loaded episode of Monday Night Raw that is being billed as the season premiere episode. Fightful Select reported a few early creative notes for the show.
There will be a DX 25th Anniversary celebration on the show. Shawn Micheals, Triple H, Road Dogg, and X-Pac will appear. Early plans call for a rubber chicken prank in the Gorilla Position backstage. The standard glow sticks, DX t-shirts, and other related items will also be used.
A Miz birthday celebration will take place with his wife, Maryse, hosting it. The segment will feature balloons, a special ring carpet, gift boxes, ice sculptures, cakes, champagne, and tables.
In the segment, Dexter Lumis is supposed to pop through one of the tables and have a spoof of the card/chain necklace used by The Miz and Tommaso Ciampa.
Here is the current announced card for tonight’s event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn:
Maryse hosts birthday celebration for The Miz
Austin Theory vs. Johnny Gargano
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and the rest of The Bloodline to appear
WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley vs. Seth Rollins
