WWE Raw, also known as Monday Night Raw or simply Raw, is an American professional wrestling television program produced by WWE. It currently airs live every Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on the USA Network. The show features characters from the Raw brand, to which WWE employees are assigned to work and perform. It debuted on January 11, 1993, and is considered to be one of WWE's two flagship programs, along with Friday Night SmackDown.[3]
In September 2000, Raw moved from the USA Network to TNN, which rebranded to Spike TV in August 2003.[4] On October 3, 2005, Raw returned to the USA Network, where it will remain until January 2025 when it moves to the Netflix streaming platform, which is scheduled to broadcast the program for a period of at least 10 years.[5] The WWE Network ceased operations in the United States on April 5, 2021, with all content being moved to Peacock, which currently has most previous Raw episodes, excluding content that was censored or removed by Peacock's standards and practices department.[6] Recent episodes are still available for on-demand viewing 30 days after the original air date.[7]
Since its first episode, Raw has been broadcast live from 208 different arenas, 171 cities and towns, and ten different nations: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Afghanistan in 2005, Iraq in 2006 and 2007, South Africa, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Mexico.[8][9][10][11][12]
