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 Netflix. The show features characters from the Raw brand, to which WWE wrestlers 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]

Since its first episode, Raw has been broadcast live from 209 different arenas, 172 cities and towns, and eleven different nations, mostly in the United States; Raw shows have also been broadcast and taped in Canada, Germany,[4] Italy,[5] Japan,[6] Mexico,[7] Saudi Arabia,[8] South Africa,[9] and the United Kingdom, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq as part of Tribute to the Troops.

Debuting on the USA Network television channel, Raw moved in September 2000 to TNN,[10] which rebranded to Spike TV in August 2003. On October 3, 2005, Raw returned to USA Network, where it remained until January 6, 2025, when it moved to the Netflix streaming platform, which is scheduled to broadcast the program for a period of at least 10 years.[11][12] The company's own WWE Network ceased operations in the United States on April 5, 2021, with all content being moved to Peacock, which had most previous Raw episodes until the transition to Netflix in 2025.[13] Raw has also been broadcast globally on other networks since it first began.
