Fans of the Legendary "Texas Rattlesnake" Stone Cold Steve Austin certainly wouldn't want to miss the 25<sup>th anniversary episode of "Monday Night Raw."

The six-time World Wrestling Federation (now WWE) heavyweight champion has been confirmed to make a big comeback in the company's flagship show this Jan. 22 at the Barclays Center in New York City.

The company wants to make the event as big as possible, which is the reason why they signed big names, both past and present, to participate in the event. Some of the legendary wrestlers who will be present with Austin are Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Ric Flair, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and The Undertaker, who is rumoured to be announced as the first inductee in the 2018 hall of fame.

It is still unclear how the 53-year-old wrestler will be part of the show as he certainly wouldn't be wrestling in a match, but such is Stone Cold's popularity that he can tear the roof of the building simply by strutting down the ramp and drinking a couple of beers.

But the rumors surrounding The Undertaker are true, then there is a possibility that Stone Cold will be the one to formally announce the phenom's induction. There is also the possibility of a new generation superstar interrupting his promo and trying to get in his face, which would result in a stunner.

A title match has also been announced for the event by Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, where Shield member Roman Reigns will defend his Intercontinental championship belt against the returning Miz. The match was made due to the latter's attack on Reigns after the champion lost a six man tag team match with his partners Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins against the reunited team Finn Balór, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson.

The 25<sup>th anniversary of Monday Night Raw will be aired one week before the 2018 Royal Rumble pay per view.
