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.

In September 2000, Raw moved from the USA Network to TNN,^[4] which rebranded to Spike TV in August 2003. 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]

The original Raw was sixty minutes in length and broke new ground in televised professional wrestling. Traditionally, wrestling shows were pre-taped on sound stages with small audienceor at large arena shows. The Raw formula was considerably different from the pre-taped weekend shows that aired at the time such as Superstars and Wrestling Challenge. Instead of matches taped weeks in advance with studio voice overs and taped discussion, Raw was a show shot and aired to a live audience,^[12]
