WWE Raw is a live professional wrestling TV show that airs on Monday nights on the USA Network in the U.S. It first premiered on January 11, 1993. The program switched from the USA Network to TNN in September 2000, and later to Spike TV in August 2003 when TNN was rebranded. WWE Raw made its return to the USA Network on October 3, 2005.

Since its inception, WWE Raw has been broadcast live from 203 different venues across 169 cities and towns in ten countries. By the time the show reached its 1,000th episode on July 23, 2012, it expanded from a two-hour to a three-hour format, a duration previously reserved for special editions.
