"The past and present converge for the momentous 25th anniversary of Raw," said WWE in a press release. "Stars from throughout the red brand's quarter-century history will be joining in on the celebration in New York. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the cornerstone of the Attitude Era and one of the most iconic Superstars in its history."
A host of icons will join Austin for the momentous occasion, which will be held on two different venues on Jan. 22. Also slated to take part in the event is The Undertaker, who has not been seen in the ring since he retired at WrestleMania in 2017.
Bleacher Report points out that WWE's previous successes often come in the form of reunions. This can be made with two bitter rivals crossing path once again, or a former tag team coming together for one appearance.
There are speculations that a D-Generation X reunion will be happening on the anniversary show since Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn will all be in attendance. Since Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Eric Bishoff are also joining the event, it's likely that a New World Order segment will be part of the show.
Additionally, Austin's confirmed appearance opens the possibility of revisiting several rivalries from his long career. Many believe Vince McMahon will get together with Austin on the event for an exciting reunion.
