According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE is doing a RAW reunion because the USA Network isn’t happy with RAW’s recent viewership.

Below is what Meltzer noted:

“USA [Network] is very disappointed with the numbers. They made a bunch of suggestions and one of them was the RAW Reunion show.”

During a Q&A this weekend, WWE Hall of Famer and current All Elite Wrestling commentator Jim Ross revealed that Vince McMahon asked him to appear during this RAW reunion show, but JR turned down the offer.

Good Ol’ JR noted that AEW President Tony Khan wanted JR to return to RAW for this one-off appearance, but JR still turned it down.

The following names have been announced so far for this RAW reunion:

– Stone Cold Steve Austin

– Hulk Hogan

– Ric Flair

– Triple H

– Shawn Michaels

– Kevin Nash

– Scott Hall

– X-Pac

– Eric Bischoff

– Christian
