Rejoice wrestling fans the world over, for tonight is the massive 25th anniversary of WWE Monday Night Raw and thank you for reading our coverage of said historic show.

It’s going to be almost impossible to list everything going on at tonight’s show but I will give a (fairly) quick rundown of what, and who, to expect. Seeing as this is the anniversary of Raw, WWE and Vince McMahon has pulled all the strings to bring back just about everyone you’ve ever cared about – obviously minus CM Punk, Hulk Hogan, and those who’ve sadly passed away. Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Trish Stratus, The Dudley Boyz, Kelly Kelly, Scott Hall, Chris Jericho, JBL, Torrie Wilson, Miss Jacqueline, and more, all with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on the commentary table. This alone, makes this the most exciting Monday Night Raw since the historic episode 2000. Not to mention, this roster of legends makes the three-hour runtime of Raw seem almost too short!

Alas, maybe as much as we would like it to be, tonight’s Raw is not just about the legends. Tonight’s show will feature all of the regular Superstar’s, both from Raw and SmackDown Live. That’s right, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan will be bringing their WWE Champion AJ Styles, Women’s Champion Charlotte, Tag Champions The Uso’s, as well as The New Day, Natalya and John Cena. So tonight’s show really is as jam-packed full of names and faces as a show could possible be. I really don’t envy the booking team for tonight’s show.

Brock Lesnar will also be on tonight’s Raw, as he responds to Braun Strowman’s insane attack on him two weeks ago. This is Lesnar’s last chance to make a statement against the Monster Among Men, but let’s not forget that Kane will be here to also cause some havoc! Tonight’s show will also feature WWE Intercontinental Champion, Roman Reigns, defend his strap against The Miz. Reigns looks to knock-off Miz one last time and head on to the Royal Rumble, whereas The Miz looks to win the IC title for the eighth time!

So that’s our preview for tonight’s show, which will no doubt be an incredibly fun show because, well because Steve Austin will be there and we could watch him for three hours and nothing else. So remember to download the Ringside Talk app and join the conversation. Enjoy the show!

While appearing on Cerrito Live on Saturday, Koko B. Ware revealed that he wasn’t invited to the RAW 25th Anniversary show that takes place this Monday.

For those not aware, Koko took part in the first-ever Monday Night RAW match, losing to Yokozuna. He mentioned that he hasn’t heard from WWE since his 2009 Hall of Fame induction.

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.

On one of his radio shows last week Bryan Alvarez from Wrestling Observer was adamant in thinking that the current angle with Kenny Omega is going to make Chris Jericho a bigger star than anything he could have done in WWE. Jericho apparently said this himself as an explanation for why he did this match.

Russo points out that Jericho and Alvarez are right in this case because nobody is watching Monday Night RAW. In Russo’s opinion, this was Jericho’s way of saying “Nobody’s watching WWE” without getting in trouble with Vince McMahon and other WWE officials.

At another point this week Alvarez tweeted out that Sami Zayn is an incredible heel. Russo says that Alvarez clearly hasn’t seen a good heel before because Jake Roberts was an incredible heel. Contrarily, Zayn is a cab driver look-alike that comes off like Woody Allen. Russo says that Alvarez needs to get his head out of his ass.

Russo says that incredible heels should give kids nightmares and they should always be a credible threat to win matches. In Russo’s opinion, Zayn can’t accomplish either of those things right now.

Lawler is joined on this week’s show by his co-host Glenn Moore.

Lawler informs that it’s 99.9% certain that he and Jim Ross will be reunited at the commentary booth for the 25th Anniversary edition of Monday Night RAW on January 22nd. He points out that part of the show will broadcast from the original home of RAW, The Manhattan Centre, so he assumes that he and Ross will be calling that part of the show.

He points out that he has so many great memories of working in The Manhattan Centre, including his interactions with Stu and Helen Hart as well as the initial ECW invasion. He’s very excited about the thought of reuniting with Ross, and he hints that he might wear his old King outfit, the jacket and crown that he wore during the initial years of RAW.

Moore mentions that he was at Monday Night RAW this past week where he was able to see one of his all-time favourite performers, Kane. Lawler points out that Kane is in the middle of a push right now, working a main event angle on RAW, and this will probably be his last big run before moving into his career in politics full time.

Lawler thinks Kane will make a great Mayor in Knoxville, and he recalls the time when he ran for Mayor in Memphis. He says that not winning that mayoral race was the best thing that never happened to him, because he’s sure that would have impacted his career greatly, and he loves the career that he went on to have after losing that race.

It’s that time of week again, welcome to our coverage of Monday Night Raw for December 11 2017!

Tonight’s show is to be headlined by a monstrous showdown between Kane and Braun Strowman. These two behemoths will finally have a proper match, with the winner moving on to face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble in January. This match should be fairly short but inevitably hectic and fun, even though a Strowman win seems inevitable.

The Bar and The Shield are set to collide many times in the following weeks, but tonight, each member of the two teams will face-off in singles competition. Tonight, Roman Reigns will face Cesaro, Dean Ambrose will tackle Samoa Joe, and Rollins will take-on Sheamus. Those are three huge matches, each of which will hopefully receive ample time to breathe and play out. This comes a week after The Shield failed to recapture the Tag Titles, largely thanks to Samoa Joe, who has it out for Reigns!

Elsewhere on tonight’s Raw, Matt Hardy has been WOKEN and he will again collide with Bray Wyatt, meanwhile Absolution will continue their wreaking of havoc, but will they again leave Asuka alone? All that and more on tonight’s show, so get ready and enjoy!

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville weren’t the only talents from NXT at RAW on Monday. According to PWInsider, Morgan and Ruby Riot were also at the event backstage. PWI didn’t elaborate on exactly why they were there.

Speaking of RAW, here is footage of The Miz being put through a table after the show went off the air Monday night:

As seen on Monday’s episode of RAW, Daniel Bryan was attacked by Kane and stretchered out of the arena to be taken to the local medical facility. WWE provided the following “storyline” update on his condition:

Welcome to Monday Night Raw for the final time in October 2017!

Kurt Angle is expected to make a statement on tonight’s show, regarding SmackDown Live’s invasion of Raw last week. What will Angle have to say in response to Shane McMahon and will he finally announce the Raw team for Survivor Series? Angle’s team is expect to include The Shield and himself but who is the fifth member? Finn Balor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments and if you expect Raw to retaliate.

Furthermore, the Raw women’s team needs to finalise it’s team. Alicia Fox won the Triple Threat last week to make herself the team captain. Sasha Banks and Bayley are very likely to join the team, perhaps along with Asuka. How will the team function with Fox at the helm? It’s worth mentioning that Emma was released by WWE yesterday, which came as a big surprise to everyone. Emma had been on WWE TV a lot recently and it appears she didn’t ask for her release, which makes the release all the more shocking.

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, Kane will be searching for more competition, and we are due to get more progress with the Champion Vs. Champion matches at Survivor Series. Remember to check out the free Ringside Talk app and give us your thoughts and feelings. Enjoy the show.

On this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, we saw SmackDown Live invade RAW where SmackDown Superstars attacked a majority of the RAW roster. One thing you might have noticed was that heels and faces from SmackDown were working together, seemingly forgetting about their rivalries. One such case is of Dolph Ziggler, who was seen standing alongside Bobby Roode, cheering on Rusev together, as if they were best friends. Ziggler responded to fans who brought up Ziggler working with Roode even though they’re supposed to be rivals:

Smackdown was a unit sending a message. Somehow every week we all wait until we're in the ring, the music hits and bell rings to fight. Why wouldn't this apply here? I didn't high five or even talk to my sd opponent, nor have I been seeking him out backstage to jump him

— Dolph Ziggler (@HEELZiggler) October 24, 2017

I have nothing against shane. I called out the fans for liking wrestlers that are smoke & mirrors. So, it was fun to bust up a show built on masks, fire, smoke & facepaint & chest protectors. Sorry that YOU didn't see that.

Bret Hart recently appeared on Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Offer to Work for WWE: “I hesitated on that for a long time; it was about four years ago I went up to them and threw the ball at them, made that pitch that I would give them ideas and help with the writing of the shows, creation of the matches and how storylines would go and so forth,” Hart explained. “I think I would be really good for them, but I sort of made the offer, but the way it was thrown back at me was about the schedule; I was letting them know that I didn’t want to be on the road everyday but that I could fly in for TV, and I think I left with letting them know that I can fly in for TV and never heard from them. Vince [McMahon] and Triple H thanked me for the offer and we left it at that.”

The Schedule Being The Issue: “It could be figured, and worked out. It’s not impossible. I can go anywhere. Sometimes a change of scenery might be fun, but I’m also very happy where I am at,” he said. “I have a beautiful house, and life, but you know, working on Monday Night Raw might sound good for me, but realistically maybe they need more; they look at their agents: Mike Rotunda, Arn Anderson, whoever they are, they’re on the road all the time with all that consistency and commitment, and I don’t really have that which is why I most likely haven’t gotten a call. I want to be a helper but don’t want to give my life away for it.”

The Lesnar vs. Triple H Match at WrestleMania 29: “I remember showing up at WrestleMania 29 where Brock Lesnar and Triple H wrestled, and I remember thinking that i had so many ideas that they could have done in their match,” he explained. “I remember seeing them talking and working out their match, and I thought to myself that I should go over there and talk to them because I had some ideas. I talked myself into not doing it, but then I watched the match—but my quote on that match became famous now where I gave it a 4 out of 10, but it was a 4 out of 10 match, it was nothing special. I remember thinking, I could have made that match really awesome, and give them a few things where it could have really taken that match up a few notches, so I know that there is a potential there to pass on some wisdom. I regretted that I didn’t do it, and I think a lot of my criticism on that match are misunderstood, which is perceived to be that I am trying to tear down Triple H, but that wasn’t what I was trying to say; I just believe that I could have made that match better.”
