It’s no big secret that WWE Raw hasn’t exactly been receiving positive reactions from the fans, and ratings reflect the negative reviews.
This week Seth Rollins kicked off Raw, and he called out acting General Manager Baron Corbin and blamed him for the show’s issues.
Sunday night Corbin is set to face off against Braun Strowman in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, and if Corbin wins he will become Raw General Manager permanently.
Whether Corbin wins or loses, Vince McMahon is set to be in the house, as WWE has officially announced that he’ll be returning to Raw to shake things up.
BREAKING: This Monday night, @VinceMcMahon returns to #RAW to shake things up!

WWE posted the following announcement:
“One week after Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins placed the blame for Monday Night Raw’s recent decline squarely on the shoulders of “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin, WWE Chairman and CEO Mr. McMahon will return to the red brand to shake things up, WWE.com can confirm.
The landmark appearance of The Chairman comes one night after WWE TLC, where Corbin hopes to be named the permanent General Manager of Raw following a forfeit victory over the injured Braun Strowman in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, per the stipulation handed down by Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. However, rumors abound that The Monster Among Men could make an appearance at this Sunday’s WWE TLC event and stop The Lone Wolf from assuming total control of Team Red.
With Mr. McMahon’s return imminent, however, Corbin could have a lot to answer for regardless of his position. How will The Chairman shake up Monday Night Raw, and who will benefit — or suffer — as a result?
Whatever Mr. McMahon has in store, you won’t want to miss it this Monday night on Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network.”
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Vince McMahon on Raw, but it appears that drastic times call for drastic measures.
One way or another it should be interesting to see what the Chairman of the Board has to say on Monday.
