A former WWE superstar was spotted backstage at this evening’s taping of WWE Monday Night Raw! Now that the road to the Royal Rumble, and thus the road to WrestleMania 39, is kicking into high gear, we are about to see some major players coming back into the fold as the show tries to be as big as it possibly can. This begins with potentially seeing some major legends make their comeback in the respective Men and Women’s Royal Rumble matches at the premium live event later this month, and that makes spotting any of them potentially all the more intriguing for what could come next.

There’s a lot packed into the first Monday Night Raw of 2023 as there was already a Raw Women’s Championship match between Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss that ended in a non-finish following a Bray Wyatt tease. There’s also the Bloodline, who invaded the show at the beginning of the episode and are now having their own matches throughout the evening.

Now, Theory will put the title on the line against The Visionary as Rollins attempts to capture the title he briefly held. Can Rollins defeat Theory to become a three-time United States Champion, or is Theory truly the ‘now’?”
