As previously confirmed, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan are all set for this Monday’s episode of WWE RAW, along with John Cena’s return after his loss at SummerSlam. The reason that WWE is is stacking the deck for this episode of RAW is because the show is going up against the Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air on NBC.
This is the first time RAW has gone head-to-head with the award show, which always draws big viewership numbers.
