Spoilers for tonight:

Spoiler!

Both Steve Austin and Mick Foley are expected to be at RAW this week.

There is expected to be a lengthy in-ring segment with the board of directors as well as Steve Austin and Mick Foley.

As just about everyone knows, Mick Foley walked out of RAW two weeks ago, the last live RAW before the Christmas break. Before he walked out, he stated that in two weeks (this Monday's RAW), he would be present as would Steve Austin and the board of directors.

With Mick Foley walking out of RAW, the likely situation, although not confirmed, would be for Eric Bischoff to come out first and 'reveal' that because Foley walked out of RAW, there will be no 'Steve Austin Return' tonight. This of course would be foiled as both Austin and Foley would be at RAW.

WWE should be able to get a storyline going where Mick Foley is gone from WWE television for quite some time. Foley was only scheduled for a short run in WWE while Austin took some time off to be with his family and deer hunt. He is expected to work some sort of a match at WMXX, likely as a tag team, possibly with The Rock.

As of early this morning, the plan was for an angle based on "there's a new sherriff in town". Eric Bischoff will boast about being the sole GM of RAW, but then Austin will return to his role of "foiling the heel's plans". Thus, Austin is set to return tonight and continue a feud with Bischoff, but he won't have the title of "co-GM" upon his return, although his role could be very, very similar. That, of course, could be changed throughout the course of the day.
