Ladies & Gents, after weeks and weeks of promotion and hype, WWE Raw will be 1000 episodes old. And Raw goes three hours to celebrate!

This special edition of Raw promises to be a memorable one. How could it not be, look at the amount of stuff on tap!

- WWE Champion CM Punk will defend his title as John Cena cashes in his Money in the Bank briefcase. This is a rivalry renewed from last summer when Punk held the WWE title hostage. Punk was the victor back then, will Cena redeem himself this time around?

- It'll be a busy night for COO Triple H. First, he & Shawn Michaels will have a D-Generation X reunion. It's been a while since DX has appeared on Raw, what will they have in store for us? Meanwhile, The Game will be awaiting the answer to his Summerslam challenge as Brock Lesnar returns to the WWE after a 3 month absence. What will "The War Machine's" answer be?

- The Rock returns to WWE after 4 months to kick start his WWE Championship goal. Will current champ CM Punk have anything to say about this?

- Daniel Bryan and AJ are getting married! The wedding ceremony will take place in front of the world, and what better occasion than Raw 1000? Sadly, WWE weddings have a reputation for going askew, what will happen this time around?

- After months of interviewing and auditioning, the new General Manager of WWE will be announced. Raw & Smackdown have been without a permanent authority figure since the firing of John Laurinaitis at No Way Out, who will the new GM be?

- And if that wasn't enough, we know that Christian will defend the Intercontinental Championship at the request of the WWE Universe. Heath Slater will likely be met by another superstar from Raw past and a whole host of Hall of Famers, WWE Legends and guests are expected to appear. It's easily the biggest Monday night of 2012, you'd be a fool to miss out!​

I have no idea how they're going to cram everything into this show without it coming across as a total clusterfuck.

I'm sure Austin will be the guest GM.

I have a feeling some of these main points will be shortened and unfortunately dulled in the process.

Jim Ross just confirmed he will appear.
- Jim Ross revealed earlier today on The Ref 1400 AM radio show in Norman, OK., that he would be appearing at next week's Raw 1000th episode in St. Louis. Jim Ross also mentioned on the show that he has no idea on what his role would be.

Oh no...

I dont think the Daniel Bryan wedding thing is so important it should be on this show, there are so many other things that are more important. It will start with DX celebrating, then somehow Brock will interfere accepting the HHH challenge at summerslam, which will be 2 items closed in 1 event, Taker is suppose to be there, The Rock, and who ever else. I think Randy Orton will be returning too becuase his 60 days is just about done

I will be recording this and it will be the first WWE show I have watched in a long time. Looking forward to this though, hopefully it will re-kindle my love for WWE.

I have Tuesday off work. Tempting, but WWE has burnt me a lot recently.

I'm not really sure if this is a spoiler but

- During an interview with 101.7 Kiss FM, Jerry Lawler stated that "all of DX" will be opening Monday's 1000th Raw episode.

YES YES YES

I second this. All of DX would be a great way to kick off the 100th Raw. You can't go wrong with Chyna, Roadogg, Mr. Ass, X-pac, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. I have always been an all-time DX fan and I thought just HHH and HBK was a little over the top.

I am looking forward to the Brock Lesnar and Triple H's showdown though. I wish they had more time to develop their storyline because it feels Summerslam is right around the corner and there's not enough time for the build up.

Who else is excited to see Bret Hart? Bret Hart looks good and I'm excited to see what he brings with him. I hope Steve Austin is also in attendance.
