Monday Night RAW has been one of the flagship programs for the WWE Network since its debut in year 1993. In 2000, it moved to the TNN network but returned to the USA network in 2005. As of now, RAW is telecasted on USA Network every Monday at 8 PM. But it looks like there might be a slight change in the telecast going forward.

There are rumors of multiple parties who are interested in signing a new broadcast deal with WWE. We do not know how much the deal would be worth but a huge brand with a net worth of $1.5 trillion is among the top contenders.

Interestingly, Amazon was the third bidder and the only top contender that is not on any cable network. Amazon would use Amazon Prime as a platform for telecasting the show. The report also outlined NBCUniversal as a possible favorite to retain the rights of the show for either Syfy or USA Network although WrestleWorld only gave them a minor chance at overcoming the other three bidders.
