We are only a few weeks away from WrestleMania 42, and all the rules are thrown out the window as every major storyline is in full swing before the biggest WWE event of the year.
And tonight, on “Monday Night Raw,” broadcast on Netflix, things are expected to get even crazier, with the likes of Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns all expected to appear on the show emanating from Madison Square Garden in New York City.
But they aren’t the only big stars expected to be on the show.
There is a huge surprise name rumored not only to be on “Raw” but also to open the show at MSG, truly pushing what can happen on this road to WrestleMania 42.

Cory Hays of Bodyslam is reporting that WWE champion Cody Rhodes will be kicking off tonight’s show, following “Friday Night Smackdown” where he had a brawl with ‘Mania opponent Randy Orton.
Orton ended Friday’s show by RKO’ing musical artist Jason Bradley “Jelly Roll” DeFord in the main event segment, angering the champion Rhodes.
Rhodes, although on the “SmackDown” brand, is allegedly shifting over to Netflix on Monday to continue promoting his marquee match at WrestleMania.
Although a surprise, it is not the first time that the WWE has used Madison Square Garden as a place where anything and everything can happen under the iconic roof.
Along with Rhodes, there is speculation that Bron Breakker, who has been sidelined by a hernia injury for over a month, will return on Monday to confront Seth Rollins to lock in their blood feud at WrestleMania 42.
