Tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw will deal with the fallout from Backlash and it will also set the stage for the upcoming Night of Champions premium live event.
It looks like we could be seeing a return tonight as the WRKD Wrestling account is reporting that a “big time supertar” will return during Raw. The returning star wasn’t named, but the words “big time” could be an indication that Becky Lynch will be making her way back to WWE. Lynch hasn’t appeared on TV in weeks, but Trish Stratus has continued to build up their feud while Lynch has been away.
It’s also being reported that a family reunion is set for Raw, and wrestlers who were called up from NXT during the recent WWE Draft are expected to be highlighted.
Current preliminary plans for tonight’s Raw includes:
Return of a big time superstar, a family reunion, and the start of highlighting those drafted from NXT.
