- WWE recently announced that 4 huge names are set to appear on the October 19th episode of Monday Night Raw. The names include Steve Austin, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair.
This will be the final edition of Raw before the Hell in a Cell event, so it's no surprise that Taker and Lesnar will be there. Austin will be conducting a Stone Cold Podcast interview with Lesnar that will air live after Raw, but it appears that he will also make an appearance on the show based on the advertising.
This will be the first televised appearance for the Undertaker since his controversial SummerSlam victory over Brock Lesnar. Ric Flair has appeared the past two Mondays with his daughter Charlotte. As for Shawn Michaels, this will be his first appearance on Raw since participating in a legends panel back on a January episode of Raw and interfering in the Sting vs Triple H match from this year’s WrestleMania. For those of you who didn’t know, Dallas is also the home of Wrestlemania 32.
