In an interesting potential twist ahead of tonight’s episode
of Raw, we may well see one of WWE’s recently released superstars making an
appearance. Well, that’s if Ryan Satin is to be believed.
According to Satin – who these days has a working
relationship with WWE and a spot on WWE Backstage – he’s hearing that one of
the multiple talents released last Wednesday may turn up on Raw this evening.

For those wondering, tonight’s Raw will be emanating live
from the WWE Performance Center.
This isn’t the first we’ve heard about a released superstar
still appearing on WWE TV, for Drake Maverick confirmed in his emotional
post-release video that he will be working three upcoming matches in the
company’s tournament to crown an interim Cruiserweight Champion.

Satin didn’t allude any further on just exactly who he’s
heard may be appearing tonight, but just throwing it out there, what if Rusev
opened the show and WWE strapped the proverbial rocket on his back as a true
main event star vying for a shot at the WWE Championship?
We can but dream.

And interestingly, Drake Maverick has just now released this cryptic tweet in referencing to something happening at 7:30pm US time - which, in terms of Florida time, would line up nicely with Raw.
Of course, Rusev and Maverick are just two of a vastly larger number released by WWE last week. In Drake's case, maybe one of those three aforementioned tournament matches actually takes place tonight?
