3 reasons why you should not miss the upcoming RAW (25th Feb 2019)

RAW has been swinging between good, watchable and bad as of late. Even though the three hour timeframe is too long for casual WWE fans to follow every week, credit must be given to WWE for pulling out some awesome moments wherever it's due.

Usually, the fans of WWE would not recommend watching RAW on live TV, but instead would suggest watching the highlights.

However, the next episode of RAW has all the potential to be a special and memorable one. From the return of some of the big names to possible scenarios that could have ramifications related to Wrestlemania 35, the next episode of RAW is a must watch.

In this list, we will take a look at a few reasons why the next chapter of RAW is a must watch one for every WWE fan.

#3 Return of The Big Dog and a possible final Shield reunion

Roman Reigns will make his one-night return for RAW

A few months ago, the then Universal Champion Roman Reigns announced that he was battling leukemia and needed some rest to recover. The Big Dog relinquished the Universal title and said goodbye to the WWE Universe. He also promised us to come back after recovering from the unfortunate disease.

However, a couple of days ago, Vince McMahon tweeted that Roman Reigns would be returning to the next episode of RAW to give us an update about his health condition.

Now, since Reigns would be leaving WWE again to fight his disease, and Dean Ambrose is set to leave WWE after Wrestlemania 35, we may not see the Shield for a very long time in a WWE ring. Thus WWE may give us a small segment where the Shield reunites for one last time. It is entirely possible since WWE turned Dean Ambrose face a couple of weeks ago.

#2 Ric Flair's birthday celebration and the possible Becky Lynch invasion

How will WWE book Ric Flair's birthday celebration?

Ric Flair will have a huge 70th birthday celebration on the upcoming episode of RAW. Even though some of WWE Superstars including Triple H and Shane McMahon threw The Nature Boy a surprise birthday party a few days ago, we will see another one on the next episode.

However, the major takeaway from such a celebration could be an interruption of the party by an uninvited guest. Becky Lynch lost her opportunity at challenging RAW Women's Champion Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania 35 due to Vince McMahon suspending her for 60 days and handing that opportunity to her nemesis Charlotte Flair.

In case you don't know, Charlotte is the daughter of Ric Flair. So there is every possible chance that the suspended Becky Lynch would be lurking around in the corner to ambush the party and not leave the ring until she gets what she wants.

#1 Future of the NXT Superstars

What has WWE planned for the NXT call-ups?

Last week, four of the elite NXT Superstars made their main roster debut after appearing and having matches on both RAW and Smackdown LIVE. The NXT Champion Tomasso Ciampa, the former NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano, another former NXT North American Champion Ricochet and former NXT Champion Aleister Black had an impressive debut on both the red and blue brands, although the crowd was pin-drop silent for their debut on RAW.

Triple H would not have these four debutants just showing their face on the main roster and then not appearing for a long while. Instead, The Game would be planning to give more exposure to the NXT call ups.

WWE earlier announced that Johnny Gargano would face Cesaro, and the team of Black and Ricochet will square up against that of Shinsuke Nakamura and Rusev on Smackdown LIVE. It will be interesting to see what they do with the NXT call ups on RAW.
