At this past Sunday's Extreme Rules PPV, one of the most attention-grabbing parts of the entire broadcast was the news that a special Raw Reunion show was on the way.

That's not to say that Extreme Rules was another dud of a show - *cough* Stomping Grounds *cough* - but it's more the fact that this Raw Reunion episode was advertised as seeing some of the biggest names in the history of Monday Night Raw and WWE return to World Wrestling Entertainment's flagship show.

To take place from Tampa, Florida's Amalie Arena, the July 22nd episode of Raw is the outing that will bring back a whole slew of names from the past. Already, there are 20 legendary names confirmed to appear on Raw Reunion, with another 15 - 20 former stars expected to be announced in the build up to the show.

The reason for this special episode of Raw? Well, that's largely down to the awful ratings Raw has brought in so far this year. According to Dave Meltzer, this Raw Reunion was actually suggested by the USA Network as one of several possible ways to give Raw some sort of shot in the arm.

It's looking like July 22nd is shaping up to be one of the most stacked episodes in Raw's 26-year history - and here are 20 stars already confirmed to be a part of this spectacle.
