WWE has announced the following matches and events for Monday’s WWE Raw television show.
-Austin Theory vs. Bobby Lashley for the U.S. Championship in a No DQ match
-Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso vs. Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest for the Raw Tag Team Titles
-Becky Lynch vs. Bayley in a cage match
-Sami Zayn goes to Tribal Court
-The following legends are advertised: Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Ric Flair, Kurt Angle, Teddy Long, Jerry Lawler, Godfather, X-Pac, Ron Simmons, Road Dogg, Alundra Blayze, Ted DiBiase, IRS, Dallas Page, and Jimmy Hart
Powell’s POV: WWE added the No DQ stipulation to the U.S. Title match and also announced that the first hour of Raw will be commercial-free. WWE has pulled The Bloodline’s acknowledgement ceremony from the advertising. Likewise, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella are no longer advertised amongst the legends. The 30th anniversary of Raw was actually on January 11, but WWE clearly waited to celebrate the milestone until there was no NFL competition. The fact that it’s the brand’s go-home show for the Royal Rumble is also a big plus. Raw will be live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Wells Fargo Center.
