5 bold predictions for WWE's Raw 25 anniversary episode
WWE is pulling out all the stops for the 25th-anniversary episode of WWE Raw on 22 January.
Not only will the company’s modern-day Superstars receive the spotlight when The Miz challenges Roman Reigns for the Intercontinental Championship, but it has been announced that over 30 legends will appear on the show.
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, D-Generation X, Ric Flair, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Trish Stratus are among the greats who are lined up to return on the milestone episode, while The Undertaker will make his first appearance on WWE television since he hinted at his retirement at WrestleMania 33.
In this article, we take a look into the future and make five bold predictions about what might happen on the much-anticipated show.
#5 Chris Jericho has a match
Emanating live from two venues, Raw 25 is expected to feature current Superstars at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and returning legends at the Manhattan Center's Grand Ballroom.
Needless to say, having been involved with WWE since his memorable debut segment with The Rock on Monday Night Raw in 1999, Chris Jericho fits into both of those categories.
After his successful recent stint in NJPW, in which he faced Kenny Omega in an instant classic at Wrestle Kingdom 12, would Y2J really return on WWE’s anniversary show just for a brief segment where he can put a couple of people on ‘The List’?
It might not be the boldest prediction, which is why it features fifth on this list, but we wouldn’t be surprised if “The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla” appears at the Barclays Center and dons his wrestling gear once again to take on a WWE Superstar he has never faced before.
Elias, perhaps?
