Overview

• Multiple outlets citing WrestleVotes report the earlier start as a three-week trial, with no official confirmation yet from WWE or Netflix.
• The affected episodes are slated for Sept. 15 in Springfield, Mass., Sept. 22 in Evansville, Ind., and Sept. 29 in Raleigh, N.C., according to ClutchPoints.
• Coverage frames the timing as an attempt to capture viewers before NFL games reach peak interest, with some overlap still expected during ESPN’s matchups.
• Reports say Raw is expected to return to its usual 8 p.m. ET slot after September, aside from previously announced specials like the Oct. 13 Perth broadcast at 8 a.m. ET.
• Since moving to Netflix in January, Raw has already experimented with live windows, including afternoon U.S. start times for episodes from Birmingham and Paris.
