Bengaluru, January 4: WWE Universe should be getting ready to ring in the New Year with a 'legendary night.' A set of who's who of professional wrestling business will be in attendance in the opener of 2021 that appears to be an exceptional night.
Fans would also not want to miss this must-see episode where the WWE Champion is also set for his first title defense of the year when Raw airs from the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Monday Night Raw was unable to retain steady TV ratings and viewerships throughout 2020 in the absence of a live audience and the situation became worse in December around the TLC pay-per-view event.
The airing platform USA Network is seemingly unhappy with the condition and they wanted Vince McMahon and Co. to do something about the situation. As a result, we are getting the Legends Night to kick things off in 2021.
There’s no telling what surprises are in store with #WWERaw Legends Night tomorrow night at 8/7 C on @USA_Network!https://t.co/hedSfbzVqJ pic.twitter.com/L22dsrvogG

The remaining guest list goes as follows - Eve Torres, Alicia Fox, Beth Phoenix, Big Show, Boogeyman, Booker T, Candice Michelle, Carlito, Hillbilly Jim, IRS (Irwin R. Schyster), Ivory, Jacqueline, Jeff Jarrett, Jimmy Hart, Kurt Angle, Mark Henry, Melina, Michael "PS" Hayes, Mickie James, Sgt. Slaughter, Tatanka, Torrie Wilson.
In an interview, the high-flyer promised that he has no intentions to do so. With number-games not in his favor, it's perhaps inevitable that he gets attacked by Mustafa Ali and his goons again this week.
As Raw faded to black last week, we saw Randy Orton light a match stick and responded positively to the pledge of Alexa Bliss to set her ablaze. Bliss doused herself in gasoline and dared The Viper to repeat the same actions (putting The Fiend on fire) from WWE TLC. This was a desperate try from her side to evoke the demonic leader from hibernation.
Will Wyatt rise tonight? Also, how did Orton respond to Bliss’ proposition that was never aired? We’ll get to know more on this during tonight's very special Legends Night edition of Raw.
