As reported earlier this week, WWE plans to save her in-ring debut for the biggest show of the year. Right now the working plan is for her to be involved in a mixed tag match against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Braun Strowman and The Rock are possible names for her tag partner in that match.

Edge won’t be appearing at next week’s RAW as part of the 25th anniversary show. Edge will be out of the country and won’t be able to make it. It’s also unknown at this time if Christian, who tagged with Edge during the Attitude Era, will be part of the show either.

It’s very possible that WWE announces more names for the show between now and next week. Several other big names that were a huge part of WWE’s success have not been announced. The Rock, Bret Hart, Batista and among others. We will keep you updated if we receive any information on other talents appearing at the show.

While speaking with Sky Sports, Mick Foley talked about the first time he won the WWE Championship titled on a taped edition of RAW back on January 4th, 1999 and mentioned he believed himself as the champion was a mistake.

“It meant so much to me on a personal level and I think I’m right in saying the fans have voted it the best ever Raw moment,” he said. “I’m excited to have been part of so many big matches on Raw. But I saw me as champion as a mistake.

He continued, “I didn’t think it was a good idea. I always thought the challenger should be chasing the champion, and The Rock was a great champion. But it turned out to be the best thing for everybody. We were going up against a massive live WCW show at the Georgia Dome in front of 40,000 people and nobody thought we’d be celebrating a big victory that night. It was not seen as a big moment at the time. I saw it as a big moment for myself because I’d never dreamed of being champion, but we all thought it had been an exciting conclusion to a good show. We didn’t realise the force of the show until the ratings were revealed the next day.”

While speaking with FOX 5 DC, John Cena was asked about The Rock possibly facing Hulk Hogan again and Cena left the doopr open for a potential rematch.

“My thoughts are the age-old adage that is WWE; Never say never,” Cena said.

These remarks come after a Twitter exchange between Hogan and The Rock several days ago where Hogan said he was “serious” about having the rematch.

X-Pac opens today’s show by speaking about the arrival of ‘Woken’ Matt Hardy in WWE. He says he was quite excited to see Hardy finally debut this character in WWE, and he’s a huge fan of it. He informs that he spoke with Hardy recently, and they laughed over him admitting to being concerned about Hardy when he saw the initial tweets and videos from TNA. X-Pac thought Hardy had legitimate lost his mind.

X-Pac says he’s intrigued to see what Don Callis (formerly WWE’s Cyrus) can bring to the table as co-Executive Direction of Impact Wrestling moving forward. He adds that he knows the value of Scott D’Amore as he’s been a big fan of D’Amore for a long time, but he’s curious to see what Callis can accomplish in this role.

Commenting on the news that The Rock is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this month, X-Pac says that it’s “bullshit” that The Rock and Vince McMahon are the only two wrestling-related personalities who have received stars on the Walk of Fame. Other stars such as Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Steve Austin do not have stars on the Walk of Fame.

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

On one of his shows this past week, Dave Meltzer discussed the merchandise sales of Finn Balor. He said that Balor has to be one of the top merchandise sellers in WWE because there are plenty of ‘Balor Club’ shirts at each WWE event. However, he doesn’t see many Balor shirts outside of WWE events.

Russo says that’s because there aren’t any wrestling shirts outside WWE events anymore. Back during the attitude era there were several wrestlers whose merchandise could be seen anywhere in public including Austin, The Rock and the NWO. Nowadays, you don’t see anyone wearing wrestling merchandise unless you’re at a WWE show.

Meltzer also adressed the Brock Lesnar/A.J. Styles Survivor Series match, calling it a success while pointing out that nobody would have cared about a Lesnar/Jinder Mahal match. Russo says, “Screw you, Meltzer”, adding that Meltzer’s problem is that he talks out of place, putting words in everybody else’s mouths. Russo says he would have much rather watched a Lesnar/Mahal match.

At another point last week Meltzer discussed RAW’s 3-hour run-time, saying that it doesn’t matter what WWE writes, fans are always going to tune out towards the end of a 3-hour program. Russo disagrees entirely, saying that he and Ed Ferrera wrote several 3-hour episodes of Monday Nitro and those shows held their audience right until the end.

When a fan mentioned on Twitter that it was the anniversary of The Rock’s Survivor Series debut, The Great One responded and took a shot at himself. You can check out the exchange below:

Wow what a @WWE rookie memory. I had the world’s WORST wrestling outfit EVER and so broke I used to cut my own hair (as you can tell by this beautifully f*cked up pineapple cut I used to give myself) yet…
NYC and Madison Square Garden embraced me like a son. #grateful. https://t.co/idS0lLZzXD

The Rock can go become the president of the United States but his wrestling roots will always bring him back to the business in some way or the other. Recently the Brahma Bull took to Twitter to congratulate his old friend Kurt Angle on his in-ring return at the TLC pay-per-view:

Congrats to my good bud @RealKurtAngle and his return tonight to a @WWE ring. Special athlete and great human being. Have FUN brotha #WWETLC

— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) October 22, 2017

However, someone was quick enough to point out that he should stop caring about wrestling as it was “fake”. So the Rock laid the verbal SmackDown on the guy like only he can:

Dwayne, wrestling isn't real. It's time you knew. https://t.co/3iqKjHfNAn

— Ben Pobjie (@benpobjie) October 22, 2017

I like the dry wit
Correct, I do in fact know wrestling isn’t real. Thats why I said “have fun”. I also know, you can go fuck yourself.

Whiles speaking to the Mumbai Facebook office, Triple H teased the possibility of going one-on-one with The Rock one last time.

“About two years ago, he and I [The Rock] did a backstage promo with each other where we talked about WrestleMania and the competitive nature of it and it lit up the internet about the possibility of it. It’s something we’ve discussed. It’s just making schedules work, he’s pretty busy I am too. But hey, right place, right time? I’ll dance one more time with The Great One, Rock.”
