Following the news that WWE is bringing RAW to Netflix in January 2025, it has been confirmed that the long-standing series will continue to be a fixture of Monday nights.
Nick Khan addressed the topic while appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, while also noting that the possibility of moving nights is feasible for RAW:
“At this moment in time, it remains Monday Night Raw. Keep in mind, we have ten and a half months until this deal is up and running.
We’re looking at what you’re looking at and what everyone else is looking at, you have a proliferation of gambling with Monday Night Football. You have an enhanced Disney package, better games. You have the Manningcast.
This year, it was on ABC and ESPN. Last season, the playoff game they got was Tom Brady at the Cowboys. You also have the college national championships, football and hoops, on Mondays. You have a lot of Mondays where there is stiff competition.
That said, even against Alabama-Michigan and Washington-Texans game a few weeks ago, Monday Night Raw did a .6 in the 18 to 49 demo, which is a massive rating against big competition. If we stay on Mondays, it’ll work, if we move to a different day, we think it’ll work too.”
This follows WWE’s previously-announced media rights deals bringing SmackDown to the USA Network and NXT to The CW in October 2024.
RAW’s deal to remain on the USA Network is reportedly set to end in October, raising questions as to where it will air between then and the beginning of its run on Netflix the following January as of time of writing.
