The Mar. 14 Raw from Pittsburgh's Consol Energy Center is already loaded with big names - some of whom might even wrestle at WrestleMania! One or two of them might stick around after that show on April 3!
With Shane & Vince McMahon, the Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman among the featured Superstars for tonight's show, there's a lot to cram in to one of only three more Monday night on the road to next month's Showcase of the Immortals.
There are a couple of pieces of evidence pointing to the possibility WWE could use another big name in Western Pennsylvania... potential spoilers follow.
Late Sunday, PWInsider ran with reports from a number of fans who'd seen Daniel Bryan out and about in the Burgh over the weekend.
Around that same time, Bryan's wife and active (for now) WWE Diva Brie Instagrammed this picture of the foodie pair from a night out on the town:

The main speculation centers on Bryan backing up his wife in her burgeoning feud with Lana. Both Divas have made mention of their and their rival's significant other in their promos (Lana is engaged to Rusev), so the connection is there. And, since they're paying him, this could be a way to use DB to sell a match without having to take a bump - something he's very unlikely to do while affiliated with WWE since he's now their frontperson for concussion awareness.
It would be Bryan's first televised appearance since his retirement ceremony on Feb. 8.
On the other hand, WWE's medical team is headquartered in the Steel City along with it's top man, Dr. Joseph Maroon, so the Beard could just be taking advantage of an opportunity to hit the road with the missus while meeting with that group about his own health or future public relations efforts.
Guess we'll have to tune in tonight to find out...
