Well here are the rumors for the announcement but who the fuck knows.
Huge Surprise On RAW Tonight - Steve Austin/Rock Return?
Story By: Matt Boone
January 20, 2003
As everyone knows by now, Eric Bischoff announced that he would have an "atomic bombshell" to drop on tonight's edition of RAW in Providence, RI. There will be an "atomic bombshell" announcement on SmackDown! tomorrow night as well.
At this point the rumors going around about the surprises (and I stress the word rumors) is that it could be one of a few things. First off, Kevin Nash was backstage at Royal Rumble last night and was told by Dr. Andrews he would be ready to go again by WrestleMania. It could always be that, but unless he has an announcement of his own, I don't see how a Nash return could be considered atomic.
Both Steve Austin and The Rock are due back in WWE around the next five weeks. It's possible that they will work an angle where both RAW and SmackDown! will claim that one of the two (more likely The Rock) is coming to their show in a few weeks. There could be the long build-up as to which show Rock chooses (much like they did with Scott Steiner recently) and when he finally lands on one show, the show that doesn't get him drops the bombshell that they have "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
Again, those are strictly rumor at this point, but a few out of many rumored scenerio's for tonight's "big surprise." One thing is for sure, WWE cannot afford another let-down on a big surprise announcement, so you can be sure that they have something planned.
