Raw is 20:

Tonight will be the 20th Birthday edition of Raw, I will be doing a live commentary on Shaggy's Wrestling Page, so come over an have a chat later while the show is on.

Edge has unfortunately had to withdraw from the event due to a family bereavement, but Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker are set to appear, The WrestleMania feud between Taker and CM Punk is expected to be kicked off during the broadcast.

Mick Foley will officially be announced as a WWE Hall Of Fame inductee, but there is no conformation that he will be in Texas, or if a video package will be aired.

After a US Newspaper spoilt the HOF announcement of Foley, WWE may also announce a second new name for induction, With Alumnus King Kong Bundy dropping a heavy hint that he will be at Raw20, and will be rewarded with a HOF ring.

He tweeted...

"Sounds like someone listened to the #Bundyholics regarding my Hall of Fame. Huge announcement tomorrow night #FIVE"

Ric Flair will be back to continue his feud with CM Punk, Bret Hart probably won't be, he was not happy with they way he was used at Raw 1000.

There has been talk of bringing Brock back for tonight, but it is thought that WWE rejected the idea to protect his remaining dates.

Nash closes door on HOF induction this year:

Kevin (Diesel) Nash was one of the favourites to be inducted in 2013, but has today closed the door on joining the WWE Hall Of Fame during a tweet congratulating Mick Foley on his induction...

"Congratulations to Mick Foley on his HOF induction.His love and physical toll are unprecedented.Thanks for our last match 2gether old school, Not sure if at this point I could do the speech.Just putting the WWE experience behind me.Know I would want HHH and HBK to put me in."

He was critical recently of the exclusion of some WWE Legends, (Savage, Rude, Snake), and the inclusion of some celebrities, maybe that is the reason, but I heard none of these complaints when he was practically locked in to be inducted this year, There may be more to this...???

Some one asked if he would at least attend the HOF party, and he replied...

"This is Micks night, in NYC his home turf.You don't need any one else."

Backstage news on NXT:

Insiders within WWE say this year will see more surprise guests enter the Royal Rumble match than ever before, some for a one night pop, but a few mid carders will start their return to the WWE active roster with an appearance in the over the top rope spectacular.
