Major Surprise Set For Tonight's WWE Raw?

Because scars never heal.

Ahead of tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw airing in just a matter of hours, there’s now rumblings that a major shocker is to take place on this latest offering for WWE’s red brand.

As per the usually reliable @WrestleVotes, tonight’s Raw “will feature something unexpected” that should be to the liking of fans.

One thing that many are jumping straight on is the use of the words “sometimes scares never heal” and taking that as a typo which should read “scars” instead of “scares” – with “scars never healed” famously being a lyric from Christian’s Just Close Your Eyes entrance theme.

Putting all of this together, speculation is now rife that former World Champion Christian could be set to make his in-ring return. Christian, of course, officially retired back in 2014 after concussion issues.

In the subsequent years since his retirement, the real-life Jay Reso has regularly played down any talk of return to the squared circle. But with Edge having made a miraculous return to action at this year’s Royal Rumble, many have pondered whether Christian could somehow don the boots and tights once more.

If WrestleVotes is to be believed, we’re definitely going to get something major on Raw tonight – it just remains to be seen what exactly that something major is.
