Major news has come to light regarding WWE RAW's television deal.
Since its inception in 1993, RAW has been the flagship show for WWE. The show airs every Monday and has broken several records over the years. RAW is currently the longest-running weekly episodic television show in history.
Over the years, several iconic moments have taken place on RAW, and the show also boasts decent ratings each week. The show's strong ratings and viewership have made it a valuable entity for the company for the past few decades. In fact, RAW ratings went unaffected during WWE's merger with UFC.

WWE NXT is set to move to CW Network next year
For many years, the WWE Network was the home to NXT. However, the Stamford-based company was able to strike a deal with USA Network due to their long-standing relationship together.
The deal is now coming to an end, and World Wrestling Entertainment is set to move on. The company signed a deal with CW Network that will see NXT move over to the new network by October of next year.
