Tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw is set to take place at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. WWE often likes to pack its MSG episodes with major names and events, and tonight’s show already features John Cena’s final appearance on the red brand.
It now appears even more big names could be in the building. Sources indicate to Bodyslam.net that Roman Reigns, AJ Lee, and Liv Morgan are all expected to be backstage for the show.
It is currently unknown if all three will be used on the program, but they are expected to be at the venue. The status of each star varies. Liv Morgan is still recovering from the shoulder surgery she underwent back in June. Roman Reigns has not been seen on WWE television since his match at Crown Jewel, and AJ Lee has been absent since her match at Wrestlepalooza.
Their presence backstage adds another layer of intrigue to an already loaded broadcast. The “Last Time is Now” tournament to determine John Cena’s final opponent will continue, with GUNTHER returning to action against Je’Von Evans, and Solo Sikoa scheduled to face a mystery opponent. The potential for a surprise return is high, especially after Zack Ryder made his return on last Friday’s SmackDown in a similar tournament match.
The show will also feature Becky Lynch defending the Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri, and Nikki Bella is scheduled to explain her actions after attacking Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer last week.
