After an impressive episode of Monday Night Raw last week, the stakes are high for tonight's episode. RAW Reunion is scheduled to take place in several hours and legends from the past will make their return to WWE TV. It is set to be the biggest reunion in the history of the show.
The SummerSlam journey began last week when two new matches were confirmed for the Biggest Party of the Summer. While Seth Rollins became the number contender for Brock Lesnar's Universal Championship, Natalya earned the right to face Becky Lynch at SummerSlam. The return of Bray Wyatt was certainly the most shocking moment of RAW last week.
A total of thirty-five past Superstars are scheduled to appear at RAW Reunion this week. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Ric Flair and many more legendary Superstars will be present at Raw Reunion. Moreover, past female Superstars like Kaitlyn, Candice Michelle, Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres and Melina will grace the ring on RAW this week. RAW Reunion has the potential to be one of the best episodes of the year.
Here, we'll discuss three blunders WWE must avoid on the red brand this week.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#3 Another segment between Maria Kanellis and Mike Kanellis
Mike Kanellis, who made his RAW debut with Maria Kanellis a few weeks ago, is having a horrendous run. The couple locked horns against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch in a mixed tag team match. It was an easy victory for Lynch and Rollins but Maria humiliated her husband after the match. Neither Maria nor Mike gained anything from the segment.
The couple also appeared on RAW last week. In a similar manner, Maria continued to embarrass her husband. Although Mike was scheduled to fight Zack Ryder, Maria was willing to fight instead of her husband. Subsequently, Mike lost the bout within a few seconds.
The storyline has been tedious for the fans and it is ambiguous why Maria is continuously humiliating her husband. Considering RAW Reunion might have some spectacular segments, WWE should not book another awful segment between Maria Kanellis and Mike Kanellis.

#2 Brock Lesnar should not be absent at RAW Reunion
Brock Lesnar had a memorable night at Extreme Rules where he cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. Lesnar is a three-time Universal Champion and his next challenger was confirmed on the red brand last week. Though Seth Rollins lost the belt, he didn't get an automatic rematch. Rollins won the 10-Man Battle Royal Match to become the number one contender for Lesnar's title.
It is no secret that Lesnar is a part-timer and he doesn't show up regularly. In his two previous Universal Title reigns, Lesnar skipped many shows. Since Lesnar is the holder of RAW's most coveted prize, he shouldn't be absent at RAW Reunion. Considering several past legendary Superstars of RAW will be present this week, the current champion of the red brand should make his presence felt. The fans will be highly disappointed if the current Universal Champion skips one of the biggest episodes of RAW.
#1 No surprise appearances
The RAW Reunion is set to be the biggest reunion of the red brand. We already know that thirty-five Superstars are confirmed to show up on RAW this week. Several Superstars from different eras will grace the ring on the flagship show. Besides the confirmed legendary Superstars, the company should bring back some titanic names without any prior announcement.
If only the announced legends show up at RAW Reunion, the show will be highly predictable. For instance, gigantic names like John Cena, The Rock, The Undertaker, Kane, Trish Stratus, Lita and many more are not currently scheduled to appear on RAW this week. Therefore, WWE should shock everyone by bringing back some of these colossal names without any announcement. While John Cena and The Rock are busy with their movie careers, the Phenom had a match at Extreme Rules. Moreover, Trish and Lita last appeared at Evolution.
