Is Raven about to snatch the crown AND our wigs after a 14-year hiatus? Because honey, the tea is PIPING hot and we are here for every single drop of it.
Listen, when Raven announced her return to the Drag Race stage for “Down Under vs. The World,” the internet collectively screamed. But what really sent us into OVERDRIVE was when the legendary experts behind “Werk Room Weekly,” Jason Cerin and Brian Faas, casually dropped that Raven is essentially the Rihanna of drag. THE RIHANNA. We’re talking serving looks, disappearing for years, and then coming back to absolutely dominate when she feels like it. The woman has that rare star power that transcends generations, darling.
After sitting out since literally 2009, Raven is making her triumphant return and apparently she’s coming to WERK. Jason and Brian spilled that she’s not just a nostalgic queen – she’s a force to be reckoned with. The premiere drops on WOW Presents Plus on July 24, and if you’re not already setting your calendar reminder, what are you even doing with your life?
The fact that she’s competing against the world’s finest queens from Down Under just adds another layer of iconic energy. This isn’t some celebrity guest appearance moment – Raven is here to remind everyone why she was an absolute juggernaut in the first place. She’s got the looks, the charisma, and most importantly, that it factor that can’t be taught or purchased.
What’s absolutely sending us is that Raven walked so that modern drag could run. Some of these queens competing against her probably watched HER seasons when they were coming up in the scene. The generational tea is REAL. Jason and Brian were absolutely right to invoke Rihanna’s name – we’re talking about a queen who set the standard and is now coming back to show these girls how it’s done.
The fashion will be immaculate. The performances will be pristine. The drama will be delicious. Everything about this comeback screams “She’s not just returning, she’s RETURNING-returning.” WOW Presents Plus is about to serve us everything we didn’t know we needed, and frankly, we cannot wait for July 24 to arrive.
What do you think? A) Raven will absolutely demolish the competition and take the crown B) The younger queens will surprise us and send her home early
