WWE Monday Night Raw

WWF Monday Night Raw[]

1993–1997[]

Monday Night Raw (or simply Raw) debuted on January 11, 1993 at 8PM (Eastern) on USA Network, considered the first weekly flagship pro-wrestling show, six years before Smackdown, both from WWF (today WWE). At the time, it was recorded one week ahead.

WWF Raw is War[]

1997–2001[]

On March 10, 1997, during the "Monday Night Wars" with WCW Monday Nitro, Monday Night Raw became "Raw is War" to compete directly, and broadcast live for 2 hours (9:00-11:00 PM) from that point on. On April 13, 1998, for the first time in two years, WWF put an end to WCW's 83 weeks on top.

January 4, 1999 was another turning point, as on Nitro, Tony Schiavone spoiled the outcome of Raw's main event (a Rock-Mankind match). This led to Nitro losing 500,000 viewers.

On September 25, 2000, Raw left USA Network and started broadcasting on TNN.

2001–2002[]

On October 1, 2001, following the sale of WCW acquisition and 9/11, WWF dropped the "is War" part of the Raw show, making it just "Raw" again. The second hour was renamed the "Raw Zone", as well, to coincide with the dropping of the "War" line. This was dropped because of the end of the Monday Night Wars.

2002–2006[]

In August 2011, the original brand extension of 2002 ended, and the entire roster of both Raw and SmackDown performers would officially merge, which allowed them to appear on either show. The 'Raw SuperShow' logo featured elements of SmackDown's logo to emphasise the end of the original brand extension.
