WWE Raw To Remain On USA Network Through End Of 2024
WWE Raw to remain on USA Network until the end of the year
May 9, 2024
Monday Night Raw won't be off the air for Q4 2024.
It was announced earlier this year that WWE Raw will be moving to Netflix at the beginning of 2025 as part of a 10-year deal worth $5 billion that will see all of WWE's weekly programming and pay-per-views air on the streaming service in many international territories, including the United Kingdom. The WWE library will also be folded into Netflix outside of the United States and some select territories.
With WWE Raw's existing TV deal with USA Network set to end in October 2024, though, this left the show without a home in the United States. That has since been rectified, however, and it was announced in TKO's Q1 2024 earnings report that a deal for Raw to air on USA Network through the end of 2024 has been agreed. The deal is worth $25 million.
A release from TKO stated: "WWE entered into a $25 million domestic media rights agreement with NBCUniversal for Raw to remain on USA Network for the fourth quarter of 2024."
This will see USA Network air all of WWE's main roster weekly programming in the United States in Q4 2024. SmackDown is set to move from FOX to USA in October 2024.
