According to PWTorch.com, WWE will be paying a special tribute to The Ultimate Warrior on Raw this Monday.
During the Australian broadcast of SmackDown!, which will air in the US tonight, a voice over from Michael Cole was inserted announcing that WWE will "pay tribute to Ultimate Warrior" and "his memory and legacy" on Raw.
I don't know that the entire show will be a tribute show dedicated to Warrior like what was done with Owen Hart, but it's not impossible. According to reports that came out yesterday, Vince McMahon was extremely shaken up by Warrior's sudden death so much so that Triple H was the one who informed WWE talent of his passing. Over the course of WrestleMania week, some fans reported that Vince & Warrior were seen laughing and generally having a really good time being around each other. They weren't mugging for cameras or anything, just that some fans reported seeing them looking like they were behaving like a couple of old friends. Maybe Vince & Warrior genuinely did bury the hatchet and leave all the bitterness behind. As a result, maybe this will be some sort of Warrior themed tribute show rather than focusing on Extreme Rules. At the same time though, one reason they did the Raw is Owen episode was not only because of the tragic circumstances of Owen Hart's death, but that he was an active member of the roster who was very much loved by damn near everyone backstage. Jeff Jarrett was so torn up and sobbing that he could barely say anything. And Warrior wasn't exactly remembered as a sweetheart by most of the guys he worked with.
