Details On Tonight’s WWE Raw From Oklahoma City – John Cena Not Advertised, Jim Ross Appreciation Night, More

Brooks Oglesby October 1, 2012 WWE News 11 Comments

WWE will tape the Raw portion of this week’s WWE Superstars and will broadcast this week’s WWE Raw tonight from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

John Cena is no longer advertised to appear on the show. Several Smackdown Superstars, such as Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, and Alberto Del Rio are advertised to appear in his place. Jack Swagger is expected to make his return, as well.

The show is being advertised locally as “Jim Ross Appreciation Night,” which will likely consist of dark segments honoring JR in front of the live crowd.

Larry King will serve as the Social Media Ambassador for this week’s Raw.

The advertised dark match main event is CM Punk vs. Sheamus. Click here for local event information.

Oh Daniel Bryan is a Smackdown superstar? Doesn’t seem like it when he was contending for the WWE title or even now.

Maybe jack swagger will return as a face now and with cena out he could possibly face (my favorite wrestler) c.m. Punk

  And lose again, seriously who wants that?
  
  Swagger lost it months back, he needs a total reimaging. New look, new persona, new everything. #StalerThanWeekOldBread
