This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw is shaping up to be one of the biggest shows of the year as Raw will be celebrating its one year anniversary on Netflix. The show will air live from the Barclays Center and it’s being promoted as a crossover with Stranger Things.

WWE is also advertising three title matches for tonight’s show, and Adam Pearce seemingly teased a Chris Jericho appearance in a video he posted to social media when he said, “Who can break down the walls and claim the gold?”

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Adam Pearce teased a potential Chris Jericho appearance on purpose because WWE is pushing for a big walk-up when it comes to ticket sales. The tease was meant to fuel the idea that Jericho could be returning on Raw tonight.

It was also noted that while Chris Jericho’s return hasn’t been confirmed for tonight, many believe that is the case, and if it doesn’t happy on Raw then Jericho is likely to return by the end of the month.

So far the following matches have been confirmed for Raw tonight:

WWE World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk vs. Bron Breakker

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Maxxine Dupri vs. Becky Lynch

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship
Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky

Liv Morgan vs. Lyra Valkyria
