— It’s been said that WWE officials are leaning more towards having celebrities guest host future editions of Monday Night Raw rather than former wrestlers. Exceptions include Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
While Sgt. Slaughter will be hosting next week’s show, it likely had more to do with it not being easy to get a big name celebrity to fly out to Calgary.
