RAW

The Flagship of Sports Entertainment

WWE Monday Night RAW debuted on January 11, 1993, and has been a cornerstone of professional wrestling ever since. As the longest-running weekly episodic television program in history, RAW has delivered over 30 years of unforgettable moments -- from Stone Cold Steve Austin stunning Mr. McMahon to The Undertakers legendary streak to the rise of modern Superstars who continue to push the boundaries of sports entertainment.

The move to Netflix in 2025 marked a seismic shift for RAW. The streaming deal brought WWE to a global audience of over 300 million subscribers, and the production quality has been elevated to match. RAW episodes now feature cinematic lighting, enhanced audio, and a presentation that makes every Monday feel like a premium live event. The Netflix era has also attracted mainstream attention and celebrity appearances, raising the profile of professional wrestling to new heights.

The current RAW roster is stacked with talent across every division. Championship picture storylines keep fans guessing week to week, while the womens division continues to deliver show-stealing matches and main event moments. Tag team competition, the Intercontinental Championship scene, and the ever-present threat of NXT call-ups keep the roster fresh and competitive.

Attending a live RAW taping is a unique experience that goes beyond what you see on screen. Dark matches before and after the broadcast, live commercial break action, and crowd interactions that never make it to Netflix all add to the value of being there in person. Many fans consider live RAW events to be the best way to experience WWE -- the atmosphere is unmatched and you never know when a surprise debut or title change might happen right in front of you.

As WWE continues its momentum through 2027, RAW remains the must-watch show in professional wrestling. With WrestleMania in the rearview and SummerSlam on the horizon, every Monday night brings new chapters in the biggest storylines in sports entertainment.

Your Guide to Attending WWE RAW Live

What time does WWE RAW start?

WWE RAW streams live on Netflix every Monday at 8:00 PM ET / 5:00 PM PT. However, if you are attending in person, plan to arrive early. Doors typically open 1-2 hours before the broadcast begins, and there are often dark matches and pre-show segments that start before 8 PM. The main broadcast runs approximately 3 hours, wrapping up around 11:00 PM ET, with possible dark match main events after the show goes off the air.

What should I bring to a WWE RAW event?

Bring your tickets (digital or printed), a valid ID, and your energy. Many fans bring homemade signs -- just make sure they follow WWE sign policy (no poles, no offensive content, standard poster board size). Wearing your favorite Superstars merchandise is practically required. Most arenas have clear bag policies, so check your venues rules before heading out. Leave the folding chairs at home -- WWE provides those.

Are WWE RAW events family-friendly?

WWE RAW is a PG-rated program and live events are designed for fans of all ages. Kids love the spectacle, the entrance music, and cheering for their favorite good guys (and booing the villains). Many arenas offer family sections with great sightlines. Children under 2 typically do not need a ticket when sitting on a parents lap, but policies vary by venue.

Will I see the same matches on Netflix that I see live?

Yes -- everything that airs on Netflix happens live in the arena right in front of you. But attending in person gets you even more. Dark matches before and after the broadcast feature additional bouts and sometimes surprise appearances. During commercial breaks (yes, there are still ad breaks on Netflix), the action continues in the ring with segments that only the live audience gets to see. Its bonus content you cannot get at home.

How long is a WWE RAW show?

The televised portion of WWE RAW runs approximately 3 hours, from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM ET. However, the full live experience is longer. Pre-show dark matches and segments often start 30-60 minutes before the broadcast, and post-show dark match main events can add another 20-30 minutes after RAW goes off the air. Plan for roughly 4 hours of total entertainment when attending live.

Can I meet WWE Superstars at RAW events?

WWE occasionally hosts meet-and-greet opportunities and VIP experiences at live events, though availability varies. Some Superstars do autograph signings at the merchandise stands before the show. The best chance to interact with wrestlers is during the pre-show when they sometimes walk through the crowd or acknowledge fans at ringside. Follow WWE social media for announcements about special fan experiences at each venue.

What is the difference between WWE RAW and SmackDown?

WWE RAW airs live on Netflix every Monday night, while SmackDown airs on USA Network on Friday nights. Each show has its own roster of Superstars and championship titles, though crossover appearances do happen during special events. RAW is the longer show at 3 hours compared to SmackDowns 2 hours. Both shows feed into the same premium live events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble.
