The first-ever episode of WWE Raw took place on January 11 1993 and the show has been running for three decades. On this occasion, WWE is all set to throw a major celebration like they always do to commemorate such milestones.
On the January 23rd, 2023 episode of WWE Raw, the show will celebrate its 30th-anniversary episode that will go down at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This will also mark the go-home episode for Royal Rumble 2023 and we can be sure of some mega returns on that night in the form of legendary names who had carried WWE’s flagship show for such a long time.

The Undertaker to return on WWE Raw 30th anniversary?
The source was also apparently told that The Undertaker could also return for this show in some capacity, as Chief Content Officer Triple H wants The Phenome to appear on yet another milestone episode of the show that he helped to hit this 30th-anniversary milestone.
The Undertaker has previously appeared on various milestone episodes of WWE Raw over the last 3 decades, including the first-ever episode of RAW (he wrestled in the main event) in 1993, the 900th episode, the 1000th episode in 2012, and the 25th-anniversary episode in 2018.
Another confirmed name for the January 23 episode of WWE Raw is Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently opened up about wanting to see Vince McMahon on the upcoming WWE Rae 30th-anniversary show. Flair recently talked about the upcoming night set for later this night on his podcast, “To Be The Man.” The 16-time World Champ said he’d personally like to see Vince McMahon appear on the show since it’s his creation,
“I’m personally glad he’s back. I don’t begin to know, There’s only a few people that do know and I’m not one of them. I honestly believe that he lives and breathes the business and he just said to himself, ‘I own all this stuff. It’s mine. I built it.”
An appearance from McMahon is certainly a possibility on WWE Raw 30 now that he’s back on the WWE Board of Directors with the intention of possibly selling the company in the near future. McMahon hasn’t been on WWE television for some time since his retirement and his next appearance is going to be the one to be discussed.
