WWE RAW at Madison Square Garden is already loaded, but now several major names are expected to be in the building, making the show feel even bigger ahead of WrestleMania 42.

The latest word is that Roxanne Perez is expected to be in New York City for RAW, signaling that her return to WWE storylines could be happening sooner rather than later. Perez has been out of action following surgery, so her presence alone adds another layer of interest to the show.

That’s not the only star power expected at Madison Square Garden. According to Bodyslam, several top names from the women’s division are also set to appear during the show.

“Sources indicate to Bodyslam that The Bella Twins, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss are also expected to be at RAW as Lyra Valkyria and Bayley are scheduled to challenge The Irresistible Forces for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.”

The expected appearances line up with a major Women’s Tag Team Championship match already scheduled for the show. Lyra Valkyria and Bayley are set to challenge Nia Jax and Lash Legend, and having stars like Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and The Bella Twins potentially involved could make that segment even more chaotic.

RAW was already shaping up to be a major episode with Penta planning to defend the Intercontinental Championship in an open challenge, Roman Reigns and CM Punk set to be under the same roof, and Brock Lesnar also advertised to appear. Now, with even more names expected backstage, the show looks even more stacked.

Madison Square Garden has a long history of hosting major WWE moments, and with this many big names expected to be present, the chances of surprises or major developments feel even higher as WrestleMania 42 gets closer.

Do you think WWE will use all these big names to set up major WrestleMania moments, or are you expecting a surprise return to steal the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
