Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, and Randy Orton have all been confirmed for next week's episode of WWE Raw, the promotion has announced.

This comes off the back of perhaps the most threadbare Raw in history, as current events saw a skeleton crew of wrestlers work for an empty WWE Performance Center in Orlando Florida. Only Edge, The Undertaker, Steve Austin, Becky Lynch, The OC, Andrade, and Rey Mysterio worked the show, with Tom Phillips, Jerry Lawler, and Byron Saxton on commentary.

So stretched were WWE with last night's broadcast that they were forced to air the entire men's Royal Rumble match to fill time. Still, they're doing the best they can with a tough situation and this year's was an excellent Rumble. There are certainly worse ways to spend an hour.

Lesnar, McIntyre, and Orton should at least provide intrigue. Lesnar and McIntyre can continue their feud face-to-face while Orton can answer Edge's WrestleMania 36 challenge, though he'd be doing well to match the quality of 'The Rated R Superstar's' promo on last night's show.

There's currently no word on who else might be on the show, though WWE has reportedly given wrestlers to skip tapings until current events blow over.
