It looks as if more WWE Hall of Famers are set to appear on the 25th anniversary episode of Raw in January. PWInsider reports that local advertising in New York for the show had clips of Bret Hart, Ric Flair and Mick Foley and said that WWE stars from the past would be appearing.
The news comes after Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash were announced yesterday for the special episode, which takes place on January 22, 2018 from Barclays Center and Manhattan Center in New York City. Bret Hart was the WWE Champion when Raw debuted in 1993, while Flair was in the main events of the second and third episodes of Raw. Hart, Flair and Foley all have many memorable moments, of course, in the history of the Monday night show.
Tickets go on sale for the show on Friday.

Due to the fact that Raw's 25th anniversary show is only a couple of months before WrestleMania 34, it will become clear at that time whether the Undertaker is going to be wrestling in April or not.
If the plan is for Undertaker to wrestle at Mania, there will likely be some sort of angle shot to set that up though at this point, it seems the only logical opponent for him would be Roman Reigns, who is already pencilled in to face Brock Lesnar.
While the feeling is that Undertaker is "retired", he's gone through these motions before in years past but due to the significant amount of money he makes for that one match, it becomes very tempting for him to "get fixed up and try again."

ZitatAlles anzeigenDetails on When Chris Jericho’s WWE Deal Expired & When He’s Expected back in WWE
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Chris Jericho’s last WWE contract expired at WrestleMania 33. He signed a one-month extension that ended in May when he dropped the US Title to Kevin Owens. Jericho worked a few WWE shows in Japan over the summer as well as one episode of Smackdown in late July as a surprise, but didn’t re-sign with the company to work those events.
Being a free agent, Jericho negotiated with NJPW and will face Kenny Omega on January 4th, 2018 WrestleKingdom 12. Jericho is working with ROH for his cruise next year in October, with Cody Rhodes, Marty Scurll and The Young Bucks being confirmed for the cruise. Jericho had originally approached WWE about having NXT talent perform on the cruise, but they turned it down.
As of right now, Jericho’s NJPW deal is a one shot deal for January 4th. It’s possible they could extend the deal, since expect an Omega win here, but Jericho winning the title would actually elevate the title, and allow them to do a second match. But those close to the situation expect him back in WWE in 2018, and it could be as early as the Raw 25th anniversary special. The idea there is that he’d have just come from making news and then would return as a bigger deal than before.
