WWE Monday Night RAW has been airing on Mondays since 1993.
While speaking with Jimmy Traina on the “SI Media” podcast, Triple H revealed that there was some talk about taking WWE RAW off Monday with the move to Netflix. He said,
“One of the things working best in WWE with the team of Nick (Khan), Lee Fitting, and many others, we’re all looking at what is the best way to do it. Forget what we have and what’s on the table. Let’s look at it with fresh eyes and say, ‘If we were building this ground up, what would we do and how would we do it?’ Take all the things we know and factor in the whys and hows. Monday night was contemplated. Is that a move off of Monday? Is it stay on Monday? It’s also a 30-plus-year tradition. You have to factor that in. Plus, the business model and everything else. I’m a big believer that you can work around all of those things. We weighed all of it out, as we always do, with the partners and ourselves and we determined what was best and what was best was staying on Monday.
“You can move and understand the global nature of WWE and Netflix. Yes, Monday is NFL, but that is not a factor in a lot of the world. There were a lot of factors heavily weighed.”
Following Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, actress Vanessa Hudgens got into the ring with Cody Rhodes, The Usos (Jimmy Uso & Jey Uso), and Sami Zayn to do Jey Uso’s “Yeet!” chant.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Hudgens said getting in the ring was a “dream come true.”
