Before we go any further, I want to wish everyone in the United States a very safe and happy Memorial Day. I want to especially extend our thanks to everyone who is currently serving in the armed forces (as well as their families, who make an extreme sacrifice as well) and wish to take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us, because they chose to put their country and their bravery before all else. It's something we can never, ever repay. Thank you.
WWE will broadcast a live Raw tonight from Green Bay, Wisconsin built around the return of John Cena, appearing for the first time since Wrestlemania 32 and officially returning to the full-time roster for the first time since undergoing rotator cuff surgery after being injured in December 2015. It will effectively be Cena's full-time return for the first time since he took time off last year to film the FOX reality series "American Grit." Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs. The Dudley Boyz is set, based on Enzo and Cas issuing a challenge on Smackdown.
Locally advertised for the show (likely a dark match, which could always change) is John Cena & Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles & Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson. If that match does take place as announced, it would be the first time Cena and Styles have ever faced off.
Beyond Cena, the build to Money in the Bank will continue with the final qualifying match for the Ladder Match. WWE has also been promoting that something would "Hatch" tonight on Raw. The last Tweet showed something being welded, which almost makes me wonder if it's a tease of the return of the Elimination Chamber, since it was about a year ago that the Chamber event was resurrected. There are lots of theories that it's the return of Bray Wyatt, but we haven't heard anything in that regard. We shall see. Of course, Seth Rollins will be back on Raw as well.
WWE will tape Smackdown and Main Event tomorrow in Rockford, IL The advertised dark match there is Styles & Gallows & Anderson vs. The Usos & Reigns.
This Wednesday's episode of WWE NXT will feature:
*Contract Signing: WWE NXT Women's champion Asuka and Nia Jax.
*The Revival vs. Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa.
*Tye Dillinger vs. Buddy Murphy.
*Austin Aries vs. Elias Samson.
Our friends at www.ringsidecollectibles.com are currently holding a massive Memorial Day sale at this link.

Paul Jordan sent the following...The Rock officially announced that a Doc Savage movie is indeed happening and he will be the star. Shane Black will direct/write the script along with Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry. Dwayne Johnson’s production company Seven Bucks Productions will be producing the film:
It's OFFICIAL: For all comic book fans you already know the world's first superhero (pre-dating Superman) is the "Man of Bronze" himself Clark "Doc" Savage.
Want to thank my bud director/writer Shane Black and his writing team Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry for flying in from LA and sitting with me and our @sevenbucksprod's producer @hhgarcia41 on this Memorial Day weekend to chop up creative and break story on this very cool project.
Comic book fans around the world know that the cool thing about "Doc" Savage is that he's the inspiration for Superman. First name Clark, called "Man of Bronze", retreats to his "Fortress of Solitude" in the Arctic etc etc.
Doc was physically and mentally trained from birth by his father and a team of scientists to become the perfect human specimen with a genius level intellect. His heightened senses are beyond comprehension. He can even identify a women's perfume from half a mile away. He is literally the master of everything.
But here's the #1 reason I'm excited to become Doc Savage.. HE'S A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO!
Confidently, yet innocently he has zero social graces whatsoever due to his upbringing so every interaction he has with someone is direct, odd, often uncomfortable and amazingly hilarious.
After speaking for hours w/ Shane Black I can see why the creator of Superman took only the best parts of Doc Savage and leaving the "weirdo" part behind. But to us, it's that "weirdo" part that makes Clark "Doc" Savage dope! Can't wait to sink my teeth into this one of a kind character. #ItsOfficial #WorldsFirstSuperhero #GeniusIntellect #PhysicalSpecimen #FnLoveableWeirdo #DocSavage
