Backstage Plans For RAW This Week

As of Saturday, the plan was not to have Pat Patterson appear live on RAW. As many of you know by now, WWE has been billing the event as "Pat Patterson Appreciation Night". The plan is to do something similar to what they recently did with the "Shawn Michaels Appreciation Night".

WWE Monday night RAW is being held from Patterson's hometown of Montreal. He's been affiliated with WWE since the late 70s when he had a run with Bob Backlund for the title. He's also worked as a booker, announcer, agent and head of talent relations during his WWE tenure. He is also the man behind the Royal Rumble concept.

As far as Bret Hart is concerned, he will appear live on the show. The angle between CM Punk, Paul Heyman and John Cena will also continue.
