A huge name could be accompanying Ric Flair on WWE RAW's 30th Anniversary. The ceremony event on January 23 will involve multiple legends, but Flair is the only one to confirm his appearance alongside another Hall of Famer.
WWE RAW’s 30th Anniversary has some blockbuster performances in store. After weeks of brawling, Bayley and Becky Lynch will resolve their conflict in a Steel Cage Match. The Judgment Day members Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio will fight The Usos for the RAW Tag Team Championships. In another title match, Bobby Lashley will face off against United States Champion Austin Theory.
Along with in-ring action, legends such as The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Ric Flair and Jerry, 'The King' Lawler are scheduled for the event to commemorate the historic night. The Nature Boy disclosed his part much earlier but also spoiled a surprise appearance in an apparent slip-up.
