Monday Night Raw is WWE’s flagship show and from time to time the company hypes up special episodes. In recent years the first Raw of January has been promoted as one of the biggest shows of the year, and it looks like that will be the case for 2027 as well.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that there have been rumblings the January 4th episode of Monday Night Raw will carry extra significance for WWE.
According to the report the expectation is the show will receive strong promotion during the last few weeks of the year, and throughout the holiday season. The idea is for WWE to start the new year with one of the biggest episodes of Raw on the calendar. A source noted that fans can expect to see one or two big special attraction matches on the show.
It’s also being reported that the November 23rd episode of Monday Night Raw in Kansas will air live at 6 PM EST. WWE will be holding another double taping that night in order to accommodate the roster during Thanksgiving week.
