They've announced way too many names for this...it's overkill.
hopefully theres only like 3 matches and rest are just promos/segmentsYeah, they gotta fill time for:
Stone Cold
Chris Jericho
Undertaker
John Cena
Brock Lesnar
Sgt. Slaughter
The Godfather
The Boogeyman
Ric Flair
DX/Kliq minus Nash
Ted Dibiase
Dudleys
APA
Brother Love
Eric Bischoff
Christian
Bellas
Kelly Kelly
Trish Status
Torrie Wilson
Jacqueline
Maria
Michelle McCool
Terri Runnels
And on top of that it's a go home show for the Rumble featuring the active RAW roster, interesting to see how they pack all of that into 3 hours.
Knowing WWE they'll probably do some dumbass backstage segment with most the old timers to give them camera time at once. Someone on the active roster does some shyt like sing (Elias) or something stupid (Slater), gets attacked or something, they all look & pause then someone throws confetti or some shyt as they dance before a commercial breakYeah, they gotta fill time for:

Nash's quads are out of the show
Trying to combine this with a go home show seems a bit much.
This should’ve been prerecorded and put on The Network
Former WWE Superstar Sean "X-Pac" Waltman recently spoke with WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross on the latest edition of his weekly podcast, The Ross Report, to promote the upcoming RAW 25th Anniversary special later this month.
When asked by "Good Ole' J.R." when he received the call from WWE inviting him to appear at the milestone RAW show, which takes place next Monday evening in New York, Waltman said it was a few months ago.
"I got my invite about a few months ago telling me to hold the date to appear on the show and I am really looking forward to it," Waltman told J.R. during the interview.
Additionally, Waltman spoke about the recent rumors regarding Vince McMahon possibly bringing back the XFL concept. He pointed to McMahon's 1990s ICOPRO efforts as an example of how Vince could make it work.
"When Vince McMahon did ICOPRO, that was ahead of its time," Waltman said. "If it had came along five years later it might have taken off because the products were good, but at the time nutritional supplements weren't a thing back then. Who knows, I hate to doubt Vince [McMahon] because you know he doesn't doubt himself."

WWE Hall Of Famer Scott Hall (Razor Ramon) recently joined fellow Kliq member Sean "X-Pac" Waltman (1-2-3 Kid) on the latest edition of his X-Pac 12360 Podcast to talk about the upcoming WWE RAW 25th Anniversary special later this month in New York. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On having loyalty for those who helped him out: "I worked with Larry Zbyszko back in what we used to call 'broadway' (a time limit draw), back in the day. Fans, we used to wrestle 15 to 20-minute draw and Zbyszko put me over. He led me through everything by the hand, so I've always been loyal to Larry. That's why when we were on top in the NWO days, I'd involve Larry. I turned Dusty [to the] nWo because I never forgot what he did for me. You know how it is, you don't forget the guys who helped you, you don't forget the guys who treat you like s--t."
On being part of the first-ever angle on RAW with the 1-2-3 Kid: "People of a certain age are aware that we did the first ever angle on RAW ever, when you beat Razor. It was an iconic moment on RAW. By the way, they showed it on RAW that you beat me. They don't show me dominating you."
On possibly wrestling at the RAW 25th Anniversary special: "I just got a text from the office that said, 'Please bring your ring gear.' I said, 'Are you ribbing me? You're going to tell me like three or four days in advance, ya know?' Give me a little notice and for the right money, I'll have abs showing. I said, 'Now, how about I bring what I wear to appearances?' I've got gimmick street clothes. But I think we're going to have a rematch, so I'm just giving you a heads up. I think it's about time I went over."
On failing to catch Waltman when he did a moonsault during an early RAW match: "I had the luxury to talk to Mike Chioda the referee [and asked] "Is he up there?" You know, I'm selling the miss pose, I turn around and ask "Is he ready?" [Chioda] said yeah. I turned, you beat me. Now I'm on the floor, the ref is in the ring counting, So, I don't have anymore to ask or unless I could have asked somebody in the front row (laughs) is he ready? But I turned too fast because I thought, this young guy is so nervous waiting for me. It was my fault, and I told you about this before, I turned too soon then you saw me turning, you tried to hurry up so I wouldn't look too stupid for standing there, and you slipped. You hit that concrete bro and you were out. Your eyes rolled back, I look at Vince and he looked down. Now, watching the commentary back, he was blowing me off, he was commentating. I rolled you in the ring, I look at Vince and [he] went f--k it, pin him.'"
