Two major names that haven’t been announced for RAW 25 are Bret Hart and Mick Foley. Both have played major roles in the history of WWE.

We have some reports to share on the reasons why they likely won’t appear on the show.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Bret won’t be on the show. This is because he has a visit from his surgeon on the same day in Calgary. His surgeon is flying in from Paris for the appointment. WWE contacted him to do the show but he didn’t want to cancel his appointment due to the circumstances.
Bret reportedly texted Vince directly to explain the situation.

As for Mick Foley, he was being advertised locally to appear. The Observer says that Mick felt like it made no sense storyline-wise for him to appear. This is because Mick was fired by Stephanie and Triple H several months ago and he reportedly feels like it needs to be at least a year before he is back.
PWInsider also says that Mick has a family vacation planned that conflicts with the date.
We will let you know if any of their statuses change over the next few days.
