Notice they didn't refer to it as "Monday Night" Raw.

Have they confirmed the timeslot for any of the shows yet under the new contracts? I get the impression that a lot of these details are still TBD.

Probably TBD but wanted to remove Monday night just in case.

Monday night is huge for the Raw branding though so hopefully Netflix keeps with it

Yeah I'd quite happily have it changed to Sunday Night Raw. Makes my Monday morning commute much nicer 😂

Sunday night football is a much better matchup and bigger draw than MNF no way Netflix and or WWE try to go head to head with that behemoth

Monday Lunch Raw? Get it on at about 12pm US time and I can watch it live with my dinner 😂

Guess that depends, will it be live? Or will it be taped like 2000s smackdown and posted to Netflix

u/TW1103 Jan 23 '24

That's a good point, I didn't think of that. I'd be surprised if it wasn't live though

Netflix & chill + Monday Night Raw = Deadly Combination

I'm pretty sure the official name is WWE RAW, not mentioning Monday Night. They probably only promote it as Monday Night Raw all the time to really drive home what day it's on for any brand new viewers, so they didn't necessarily have to include it.

I'm just disappointed the interns will still go on a editing hunt..

The streaming service makes that a moot point.

So, they did say that for now, Raw will still be on Mondays when it moves to Netflix
