WWE are on the hunt for a temporary home for RAW.
In January 2025, Monday Night RAW is set to move to Netflix, however the show will stop airing on the USA Network starting in October 2024, which has understandably led to speculation from fans as to where the show will air from October to December.
On the recent TKO Q4 2023 Earnings Call, TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer discussed the situation and noted that the company intends to find a home for the show in the final months of 2024.
“We also intend to renew our license or find an alternate provider to carry Raw in the U.S. for the 90-day period from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 before it moves to Netflix as described below. These domestic licenses together account for a very significant portion of our media segment revenues and profitability. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of these negotiations and, if we are unable to renew existing agreements or find alternative streaming or distribution partners, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.”

Additionally, Schleimer went on to state that he believes RAW will be aired in Q4, although he was unable to share any further details.
“We believe Raw will be aired in the fourth quarter. We have no further information. We feel pretty positive about it.”

TKO’s President and COO Mark Shapiro also addressed the situation, noting that WWE are going to find the best platform for the brand.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on the future of Monday Night RAW ahead of their move to Netflix in January 2025 as soon as we hear more.
