Monday Night Raw is WWE’s flagship show and now that the show airs live on Netflix each week WWE has a lot more flexibility when it comes to the start time for Raw.
This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw is set to start at 7 PM ET and Fightful Select is reporting that Netflix and WWE are trying out different start times for the show now that the NFL season has kicked off, but 7 PM won’t be the regular start time for Raw moving forward.
According to the report the upcoming episodes of Raw on October 6, 20, and 27 will see Raw return to its normal start time at 8 PM ET. It was noted that WWE likely would have continued with the 7 PM ET start time, but Raw is set to air from Dallas, Sacramento and Anaheim on the 6th and 20th, and 27th respectively, so it would have made things more difficult for the local fans attending the shows.
WWE will still be in Australia following Crown Jewel for Raw on October 15, so the planned start time is 8 AM ET for the broadcast. Start times for the upcoming episodes of Raw in Boston and New York City are still being evaluated.
