Speaking on his podcast, Flair revealed:

Hulkamania is coming. He confirmed to me last night that he’s coming”.

With the Bloodline Acknowledgment Ceremony, that obviously poses the question. Could we see another certain Head of the Table?

As noted, WWE announced that all generations of The Bloodline will be represented at RAW 30 for an Acknowledgement Ceremony, where they will officially acknowledge Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns as The Tribal Chief. WWE did not specify that members of The Anoa’i Family will be there, but it was implied.

In an update, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi and his cousin Samu have confirmed that they will be at RAW 30 as well. Rikishi is the father to Solo Sikoa and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos, while Samu is the father of MLW World Tag Team Champion Lance Anoa’i.​

Of course Rikishi. Hopefully the Wild Samoans show up. I wonder if they’re even gonna bring in non wrestler members of the family.

In an update, WWEDVD.co.uk has announced the RAW 30th Anniversary DVD for pre-orders, to be released for fans in the UK at a later date.

It’s interesting to note that the cover art for the RAW 30 DVD includes Taker in attire that is similar to his American Badass gear, Michaels with fellow Hall of Famer & Chief Content Officer Triple H as DX, Lesnar, Bobby Lashley, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, Becky Lynch, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, RAW Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, and Seth Rollins.

It was reported earlier this week how Flair said Hogan will be at RAW 30. While not officially announced by WWE, this new DVD cover art also indicates that The Hulkster will be there. Lesnar and Triple H also have not been confirmed by WWE.

Regarding Lesnar, this could be confirmation that he is returning to the WWE storylines in time for the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

The Hall of Famers and Superstars WWE has officially announced as of this writing include Taker, Flair, Michaels, The Bella Twins, Ron Simmons, Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, Teddy Long, Jerry Lawler, Kurt Angle, and Senior Vice President of Live Events “Road Dogg” Brian James. Ronda Rousey is also advertised to appear. Tatanka recently confirmed that he will not be there due to family commitments, despite WWE inviting him, while WWE Hall of Famer Kane and others are expected. Samu and WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi have confirmed that they will be there for Reigns’ Acknowledgement Ceremony.

It’s also interesting to note that the event is being billed as “RAW Is 30” to fans in the UK, instead of the “RAW Is XXX” billing here in the United States. This could be the title used for just the DVD cover, that has not been confirmed.​

Nothing more to celebrate 30 years of RAW by having it being called RAW is XXX.

I can bet you there's gonna be a lot of screwing going on.
