5 buzzworthy RAW Reunion rumors you need to know: Surprising reason why Vince McMahon agreed to do the reunion, Invasion angle

#2 The Rock will not be a part of the show

There was a lot of speculation regarding the possibility of The Rock making an appearance on RAW this week. However, WON has reported that unfortunately, Dwayne Johnson is unlikely to appear on this mega edition of RAW.

They further stated that The Brahma Bull has been contracted to appear on the first SmackDown on FOX, but even that is up in the air.

#1 Who was really behind the reunion idea?

Interestingly the reunion is not actually an idea from WWE Creative, instead, it was USA Network's idea. Here is what Dave Meltzer of WON (as per Cagesideseats.com) has stated:

In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter it’s mentioned the Raw Reunion show came about because it was “one of the least bad ideas” from USA Network to turn ratings around.

It was also stated that the reunion was originally planned for the debut show of SmackDown on FOX before being moved to RAW. But it looks like Vince McMahon agreed to the idea merely because it wasn't a bad one.
