WWE Raw 25 Preview: January 22, 2018
171 cities, 11 countries, 1286+ episodes and 25 years of iconic memories. WWE celebrates a monumental milestone of its flagship show this week and as expected, Vince McMahon and co. have left no stone unturned in making it feel like a PPV.
Being the go-home show for Royal Rumble is just an added bonus in what promises to be a satisfying experience in contrast to an otherwise tedious three-hour ordeal. An unending list of legendary returns, a title match and a host of the announcements that could turn the Rumble on its head; Raw is stacked and how!
