-The top names WWE is advertising for Monday are as follows: Steve Austin, Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff, Trish Stratus, The Dudleys, Christian, The New Age Outlaws, the Bellas, JBL, Ron Simmons, and Brother Love (Bruce Prichard). Many other character-based wrestlers and role players are advertised, too, including The Godfather, Brooklyn Brawler, Boogeyman, and Harvey Wippleman, so expect some cornball comedy too.
