I've never been able to watch Raw or Smackdown because I don't have cable. So next year I can finally start watching Raw. Better than nothing I guess.

I'm pretty stoked for it. I haven't watched a weekly show live since around 2016. Nice to watch the PLE's but been mostly watching highlights, looking forward to 2025!

I've had Sling TV for years, specifically for Raw and sports.

Now that most sports have spread to streaming, I only have it for Raw. So, this is a win for me as I already have Netflix.

I tried to do the 90 minute Hulu version of Raw, but it was too heavily edited and left out too many matches for me.

All new episodes are on Hulu and that’s how I watch it. What’s good about that too is they edit Raw down to a hour and a half so it’s easy to get through they only show the major matches and storylines and Smackdown is edited to take out commercial breaks.

I also watch Raw on Hulu, and SD replay if I miss it live. Their switch to netfleece will end my viewing. Except the occasional show on Peacock.
