This week's WWE RAW is set to be one for the ages, as legends and stars from yesteryear return for a RAW Reunion show. WWE have confirmed some big-name Superstars for the show, which includes the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Booker T, and Triple H, to name a few.

Of course, the current WWE Superstars from RAW and SmackDown will also be there, and we will most likely see some epic confrontations and segments in the show.

But, there are a few other Superstars that could also be added late in the day, ahead of the RAW show on July 22.

Let's take a look at 5 legends who could be added last-minute for RAW Reunion:


#5. The Rock

The Rock hasn't been on WWE television in a long time, due to his film commitments, and his return would get a massive pop from the WWE Universe, and could be a great way to get people talking about WWE once again, which is much-needed considering the fall in ratings and viewership over the years.

His last appearance in WWE was back in WrestleMania 32 in 2016 when he had a match with Erick Rowan.

The rumours of Rock's return to WWE at the RAW Reunion show picked up pace after rumours indicated that he was at WWE's Performance Center last week. WWE may not announce him till late in the day, or perhaps keep his appearance at the show a secret, and kick off the show with him.

While a feud with any Superstar to set-up a future match can be ruled out as The Rock is busy with his various movie projects, we could maybe see him interact with his rivals from the past like Kurt Angle or Stone Cold Steve Austin.

#4. Trish Stratus

Trish Stratus is one Superstar from the Women's division who has been surprisingly omitted from the WWE RAW Reunion show so far. The likes of Melina, Kaitlyn, Candice Michelle, Alundra Blayze, and Kelly Kelly have all been announced to be a part of the show, but WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus and Lita have not yet been added to the show.

We could perhaps see both of them or just Trish added to the show, and have a segment with current Superstars. Trish could maybe have a segment with the current Women's Tag Team champions, The IIconics, to set up a future match. Maybe a match at SummerSlam where The IIconics defend their title against multiple tag teams.

Fans have wanted Trish and Lita to return as a tag team and face off against The IIconics for the title, which would be pretty interesting!

#3. John Cena

John Cena

John Cena's last surprise return, at WrestleMania 35, was a huge hit as he brought back the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick, to a mighty ovation, and verbally and physically assaulted Elias.

Recent reports have been conflicting regarding Cena's status for the RAW Reunion show. Post Wrestling have reported the Cena will be there, as John Pollock reported that he does not know what role Cena will play at the show, but he will be there.

Dave Meltzer, on Wrestling Observer Radio, said that Cena and The Rock will not be a part of the RAW Reunion show this Monday.

When asked about appearing at the RAW Reunion show this past week on Deco Drive, Cena gave a cryptic reply, indicating that he might be at the show: "They say it's going to be one of the biggest RAWs of all time, and it's certainly memorable. Um... we'll see?"

#2. The Undertaker

Surprisingly, The Undertaker has also not been added to the WWE RAW Reunion show, considering he was on WWE television just a few weeks ago at Extreme Rules.

The RAW Reunion show could be the perfect place for The Deadman to set-up his next feud, which would eventually result in a match for the SummerSlam PPV, which will happen next month.

The Undertaker's last feud was against Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre when he teamed up with Roman Reigns. I think that The Deadman could maybe have a feud with Elias, which WWE have been teasing for quite some time now.

Elias attacked Undertaker at Extreme Rules during the tag team match, while he has also teased a potential match with Undertaker in his various songs, where he has taken potshots at 'Taker. It would be an interesting match, one that would certainly help Elias' career.

#1. Sting

But, one of the biggest surprises that could happen at the WWE RAW Reunion show is if Sting returns to WWE, which would most likely set up a clash with the previous person in this list - The Undertaker.

Sting appeared last on RAW earlier this year, during Ric Flair's 70th birthday celebrations, where he was one of the guests of the show. We could maybe see Sting return unannounced and attack The Undertaker, which would be the perfect way to set up a match between the two legends, just under a month before SummerSlam.

This is a dream match that needs a big setting like SummerSlam and WWE should use this opportunity to set up the match.

Sting wants this match to happen, The Undertaker possibly has just this one dream match remaining, while WWE will love the interest that this match-up brings to their product.
