WWE Rumors: Many Big Names Could Miss ‘Monday Night Raw’ Tomorrow Night

WWE is preparing for the end of 2015, and they are going to have a pretty big Monday Night Raw to close things out tomorrow night. Vince McMahon is set to show up and confront Roman Reigns face-to-face while John Cena is making his televised return as well. Unfortunately, there is another WWE event happening at the same time in another city, and that means some big names will likely be missing.

Monday Night Raw is going to be taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and there will be a lot on hand for the final one of the year. WrestleZone has pointed out though that the live event running in Allentown, Pennsylvania, at the same time will keep a lot of big names off of television.

Currently for Raw, WWE is advertising John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Roman Reigns, Sheamus, Kevin Owens, and Dean Ambrose. Surely, there will be more present to fill up the full three hours, and as always, the appearing superstars are subject to change.

To be honest, the event in Pennsylvania is looking more entertaining than Raw may be.

According to the Live Event Holiday Tour on WWE.com, there are a lot more big names appearing at the PPL Center on Monday Night. Dolph Ziggler, Kane, and Bray Wyatt are all featured prominently on the image, but others are advertised as well.

So far, the other superstars scheduled to appear in Pennsylvania are:

  • The Dudley Boyz
  • Charlotte – Divas Champion
  • Tyler Breeze
  • Tommy Dreamer
  • Luke Harper
  • Erick Rowan
  • Paige
  • Braun Strowman

So, the entire Wyatt Family is not scheduled to be on the final Monday Night Raw of the year, and neither will any of Team ECW. The WWE Divas Champion Charlotte won’t be present, which means that Becky Lynch likely won’t appear either.

It is kind of odd that Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose will be on Raw, but Dolph Ziggler will be at the other WWE Live event. This makes it hard to believe now that the final Raw of the year is going to do a lot of building up toward the Royal Rumble.

The way it’s seeming right now, WWE is going to put a lot of focus on Roman Reigns tomorrow night and how he interacts with The Authority and the League of Nations. For what it’s worth, it is possible that Raw could be when they announce the main event of the Royal Rumble and whom Reigns will defend the WWE Title against.

On Tuesday night, WWE will be taping SmackDown in Washington, DC, but there will also be another live event in Rhode Island at the same time. There will be two separate events on Dec. 30, 2015, and then the WWE is giving the superstars a break until Jan. 3, 2016.

Tuesday night’s SmackDown taping is almost a reverse of what is happening on Monday night. Reigns is once again advertised, but now Cena and Del Rio are said to be appearing at the Rhode Island house show.

To show you just how much the cards of different events may change though, Bray Wyatt is being advertised for Tuesday night’s house show in Rhode Island. At the same time, other members of The Wyatt Family are being advertised for SmackDown.

Monday Night Raw is going to end 2015 with a bang, but there will likely be some big names missing and not there to see what punishment is brought down on Roman Reigns by Vince McMahon. The Royal Rumble build is really going to kick into gear next week, but Raw will give it a slight push tomorrow night.
