WWE Raw XXX Gets Two Big Changes Hours Before The Show

By Connor Casey

WWE Monday Night Raw's 30th-anniversary episode takes place tonight in Philadelphia. The show's lineup has undergone a number of changes over the past week as various advertised legends have had to back out of the show, prompting various segments to be changed. WWE officially announced two more changes mere hours before showtime, announcing that tonight's United States Championship match between Austin Theory and Bobby Lashley will be a No Disqualification match and that the opening hour will be commercial-free. 

The stipulation could wind up actually favoring Lashley despite Theory being the cowardly champion. MVP has been teasing the idea of reforming The Hurt Business in recent weeks, going so far as to use Omos to ensure Lashley earned a shot against Theory in a six-way No. 1 contender's match last week. Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin have already signed on to reform the group, meaning all it would take is approval from Lashley for the dominant faction to return.
