WWE confirmed on Monday that Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler will reunite at the commentator’s desk next week for the RAW 25th Anniversary special. JR and the King will call the action from the Manhattan Center, with the usual announce team calling the action from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Rounding up a few rumors we’ve been hearing regarding the 25th Anniversary show, it’s expected that approximately two hours of RAW will air from the Barclays Center and one hour of the show will air from the Manhattan Center.
With fans paying top dollar to attend the Manhattan Center show (due to high demand and limited seating capacity), you can be sure those fans will be treated to several “bonus matches” that could air later on Youtube or the WWE Network.
Additionally, WWE going with a “retro” set for the Manhattan Center show that will closely emulate the look of RAW’s first few episodes from 1993.
