The latest episode of Monday Night RAW, on October 8, was one of the best events in the year for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The episode saw Triple H and Shawn Michaels reunite and reform the DX, Kurt Angle returned to in-ring action, and so did Trish Stratus and Lita. It was one hell of a night for the fans at Allstate Arena, in Chicago, United States.
The opening segment of Monday Night RAW saw Triple H and Shawn Michaels talking about their loss at WWE Super Show-Down in Australia, this past week. They talked about how they have lost respect for The Undertaker and Kane.
Triple H got the crowd rallying behind him by getting the ‘are you ready’ chant going. Shawn Michaels joined him later, and the crowd went into a tizzy. The duo announced that the DX is back and challenge The Brothers of Destruction (The Undertaker and Kane) at WWE’s event – Crown Jewel – to take place in Saudi Arabia, next month.

Another exciting segment at RAW was between former RAW Women’s champion Alexa Bliss (along with Mickie James) and WWE Hall-of-Fame Trish Stratus.
Bliss and Stratus trash-talked about each other before the verbal duel reaching the threshold. Bliss and James look to double-team on Stratus, and it is just then when another WWE Hall of Famer Lita made her way out. Both Stratus and Lita made a mockery of Bliss and James as they retreated backstage!
