Monday Night Raw celebrates its 30th anniversary next week, and the WWE is pulling out all the stops to make Raw XXX a very special occasion.

The Usos will defend the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship against The Judgment Day, while Bobby Lashley takes on Austin Theory for the WWE United States Championship, having won a six-man elimination match in the main event of last night's (January 16) show.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch and Bayley will face each other in a Steel Cage Match, and The Bloodline will hold a special ceremony to recognise and acknowledge their Tribal Chief (and STILL Undisputed WWE Universal Champion) Roman Reigns.

The WWE always brings out a collection of its Legends on occasions such as these, and Raw XXX is no exception.

An on-screen graphic for the event confirmed the presence of The Undertaker, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Bella Twins (that's Nikki and Brie Bella) and Kurt Angle, as well as Road Dogg, Faarooq, X-Pac, Teddy Long and Jerry Lawler.

The Undertaker retired from wrestling after defeating AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36.

One name not yet mentioned is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who has been hotly tipped to face Reigns at WrestleMania 39.

Some fans have predicted that The Rock could make his return at Royal Rumble 2023 later this month.

A win in the Rumble match would set up a title clash at WrestleMania against his cousin, a match-up that has been long-rumoured over the years.

However, the announcement from Cody Rhodes last night that he would be making his comeback from injury by entering the Royal Rumble has thrown up all manner of possibilities for the Road to WrestleMania 39.
