Tonight's episode of RAW has been dubbed as the RAW Reunion by WWE with around 40 legends returning for one night only including Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan.

With less than 24 hours left until one of the biggest RAW's of the year, let's take a look at some of the rumors surrounding the show.

#5. The reason behind the show

Low ratings are the reason behind WWE hosting the RAW Reunion

RAW Reunion looks set to be, at the very least, one of the biggest episodes of Monday Night RAW this year. The reported reason behind the sudden special is sagging ratings. To be more specific. Cageside Seats is reporting that RAW Reunion is being hosted on the request of the USA Network as a way to get ratings up.

It remains to be seen if one special will have a lasting effect on ratings but it could do the trick as far as ratings for tonight's show is concerned.

#4. Multiple legends could win the 24/7 title

R-Truth is almost certain to lose the WWE 24/7 title on RAW tonight

When Mick Foley unveiled the WWE 24/7 title on RAW a few months ago, one of the things he said was that fans could expect returning legends to win the 24/7 title. The opportunity for that hasn't come yet but with a number of legends returning tonight, we could see a number of them win the title tonight.

Could we see Mick Foley himself pin R-Truth to win the WWE 24/7 Championship? Don't worry R-Truth fans, he could still win the title back before the end of the night.

#3. No Sasha Banks?

Bayley and Sasha Banks are former WWE Women's Tag-Team Champions

Sasha Banks hasn't been seen on WWE television since WrestleMania 35 where she and Bayley lost the WWE Women's Tag-Team Championships to The IIconics. It looks like 'The Boss' will not be back on RAW tonight either after she was removed from advertising for the show.

#2. More surprise returns possible

Apart from the legends already confirmed for tonight's show, we could see two more names returning. The first being Maryse who looks set to be on RAW to help promote Miz and Mrs which returns with a new season on July 23rd. Her last appearance came at Elimination Chamber in February.

Another possible return is WWE legend Hornswoggle. According to PWInsider, Hornswoggle has been spotted in Fort Lauderdale ahead of RAW. His name has been mentioned by R-Truth on RAW in recent weeks and it won't be a surprise if he's one of the legends who win the WWE 24/7 Championship tonight.

#1. The Rock and John Cena will not be at RAW Reunion tonight

This will probably come as a huge disappointment but it looks like neither The Rock nor John Cena will be on the RAW Reunion tonight unless WWE's managed to keep it a closely guarded secret. On the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that there are currently no plans for either The Rock or Cena for tonight's episode of RAW.

Cena has recently been in the UK filming Furious 9. Cena was asked about a possible appearance at RAW Reunion recently and here's what he said:

They say it's going to be one of the biggest RAWs of all time, and it's certainly memorable. Um...we'll see?

John Cena's last appearance in WWE came at WrestleMania 35. Cena threw back the years and appeared as the Dr. of Thuganomics and interrupted Elias' segment before laying him out with the Attitude Adjustment.
