In an interview with The Pat McAfee Show, WWE President Nick Khan discussed several topics, including the potential of WWE RAW switching the night it airs when the move to Netflix kicks in from January 2025.
“At this moment in time, it remains Monday Night RAW< but keep in mind we’ve got ten and a half months until this deal is up and running, so we’re looking at what you’re looking at and what everyone else is looking at.
You have a proliferation of gambling with Monday Night Football, you have an enhanced Disney package, better games, all credit to Jimmy Pitara, the Bobfather, as Pat, you and I call him, you coined that term, Bob Iger, and all the other good folks at Disney, you’ve got the Manningcast, this year it was on ABC and ESPN Monday Night Football, you got last season, the playoff game that they got, I believe it was Tom Brady at the Cowboys, the season before, whatever that was, you also have the College National Championship, football and hoops on Monday’s, so you’ve got a lot of Monday’s where there is stiff competition.
With that said, even against Alabama/Michigan and the Washington/Texas game a few weeks ago, Monday Night RAW did a 0.6 in the 18-49 demo, which is a massive rating against big competition. If we stay on Monday’s, it’ll work, if we move to a different day, we think it’ll work too.”
