I know none of these are "legends" anywhere near the same level as the usual suspects, but I'm just bored of the same people all the time. Hell, I'd mark the fuck out for a Buff Bagwell appearance at this point. I know only about 2% of todays fans probably know who he is, but fuck it, it'd be something completely different and "out there".

I’m holding out hope for this myself. They can advertise the usual suspects that everyone expects to see and then sprinkle in some genuine surprises.

I’m hoping they use the massive tron to do a “Raw through the years” type deal.

Have the big RAW letters and your New Generation guys coming through. DiBiase and IRS I can see there - there’s a bit for them to do with the DiBiase scandal, right? Have Charles Wright be Papa Shango for this part. Maybe even Walkman as 1-2-3 Kid. You could do the Becky/Bayley Cage Match in the old style cage here too. Make Alundra Blayze the guest ring announcer or ref to tie her in.

Then move through the years with the Raw is War theme/industrial theme. This is your Attitude Era with DX, Austin if he’s there, Charles Wright becomes The Godfather for this part (also would like to see him do a Kama Ultimate Fighting Machine thing too). Shamrock would be a nice surprise here.

Then move into the 2002 logo/set. Bischoff appears her to GM for a couple of segments. 2005 had a new set, and 2008. Not sure how many tweaks between then and where we are now but you get the point.

You could, if you wanted to have the title belts used at the time so if Austin Theory makes an appearance during the 2005 part of the show you have him using the US championship from that era. Usos can do the same when they do their title defence.
