With the holidays behind us, Monday Night Raw is back for the first live episode of 2019. After two weeks of taped shows (each drawing under 2 million viewers), WWE is stacking the deck with big returns from part-time Superstars and Hal of Famers.
The following items are advertised for tonight when Raw invades the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida:
– Hulk Hogan returns to celebrate the life of the legendary “Mean” Gene Okerlund, who passed away last week. It’s rumored that Ric Flair will also be in attendance to pay tribute to Okerlund.
– WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will make a rare television appearance. Lesnar will clash with Braun Strowman later this month at the Royal Rumble.
– John Cena returns to Raw. Cena appeared on last week’s SmackDown Live and teamed up with “The Man” Becky Lynch in mixed tag team action.
– Alexa Bliss’ new talk show segment “A Moment of Bliss” debuts.
– The Revival will challenge Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the Raw Tag Team Championships in a Lumberjack Match.
Plus, Elias will take on Baron Corbin in singles action.
