From the WWE Rumour Mill: More details for RAW's 25th Anniversary Show
What's the story?
There's a lot of confusion about the 25th Anniversary Show of WWE Monday Night RAW taking place in two venues, and also over what exactly will air on television.
However, the Manhattan Center box office has stated that their part of the show is only expected to last between 7.30-9.00 pm EST.
In case you didn't know...
The RAW 25th Anniversary Show is set to be a bumper night of entertainment with shows being filmed from two venues, The Manhattan Center and the Barclays Center with Superstars from WWE's past and present, including many legends expected to make an appearance. The full list of confirmed names is as follows.
The Undertaker, DX, Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, The Dudley Boyz, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Brother Love, The Boogeyman, The Godfather, Sgt. Slaughter, John Laurinaitis, Teddy Long, The Bella Twins, New Age Outlaws, and The APA, Ted DiBiase, Eric Bischoff, Steve Austin, Mick Foley and Bret Hart will be at the mega event!
The heart of the matter
With StillRealToUs reporting that the Manhattan Center portion of the show is only expected to be between 7.30 and 9 pm EST, it'll only take up an hour and a half of Monday Night RAW's running time, with the other two hours expected to come from the Barclays Center.
The current belief is that the Manhattan Center will be where most of the WWE legends and Hall of Famers above will be making their appearances in what is set to be a historic show.
So, fans at the Manhattan Center shouldn't feel too aggrieved at the shorter running time. Plus there's likely to be a lot of stuff at either venue that doesn't make it onto television.
What's next?
Much of what we can expect to happen at the show remains a surprise.
The expectation at the moment is that the night will close out with the return of the Undertaker, cementing his Wrestlemania return with a match against John Cena at the 'Grandest Stage of Them All'
Author's take
It's almost a little sad that only three hours of the five hours of combined shows will make it onto television, but still, the excitement for this momentous wrestling occasion is slowly building. Not long now!
