WWE RAW History
Professional wrestling has been a staple of Monday nights since 1993 when WWE RAW first aired from the Manhattan Center. While the show originally aired live, certain episodes would be taped after an episode was telecast live, to save costs over the long haul.
Everything would change after the arrival of WWE’s competitors- World Championship Wrestling whose flagship show WCW Monday Nitro (a play on Monday Night RAW) would surpass WWE RAW in ratings for weeks on end. WCW and the man at the helm, Eric Bischoff, were not afraid to play dirty and would often give out the results of taped RAW shows on air. This would lead to RAW going live more often, and also adding an extra hour (going from 1 hour to 2) to counter World Championship Wrestling programming.
WWE RAW would go to 3 hours from the year 2012, which marked the 1000th episode of the brand. Monday Night RAW would celebrate its 20th Anniversary in 2012 and its 25th Anniversary in 2018, both with very special shows. It currently airs on USA Network. Digitally, fans can watch episodes of RAW on the WWE Network. But, the network has ceased to operate in USA and fans can watch the same on Peacock TV.
RAW is WAR
At the peak of the Monday Night Wars with WCW, the latter gained the lead by a significant margin with the nWo angle, which was a lot edgier than anything WWE was putting on. In order to compete with World Championship Wrestling, WWE RAW would change its name to RAW is War in the year 1997, in line is what is known as the Attitude Era of WWE, where the programming became a lot more mature than it was.
Shortly after the September 11 attacks, the RAW is WAR name was retired for obvious reasons and just became WWE RAW. A brand split would happen after Vince McMahon purchased his competition WCW, owing to an over-abundance of talent as the RAW roster and the SmackDown roster would become exclusive to their brands, and this would last all the way until the year 2011, before returning in 2016.

WWE RAW Roster
The WWE RAW roster consists of WWE Superstars, on-air personnel like ring announcers, commentators and backstage interviewers, referees and a very efficient backstage staff that make sure that the shows run smoothly. The WWE Championships that are native to WWE RAW are the following- The WWE Championship, the RAW Women’s Championship and the RAW Tag Team Championship.
The Judgement Day
The Intercontinental Championship and The United States Championship take turns shuffling between RAW and SmackDown Live based on the Superstar Shake-Up. The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships are not native to either brand and are featured prominently on RAW. Owing to the Wild Card Rule, many Champions from SmackDown Live have been featured on RAW as well. The WWE Championship is draped around the waist of the top male in the division while the RAW Women’s Championship is used to denote the top female Superstar.

RAW General Managers
While Triple H, Kevin Dunn, and Bruce Prichard among others, are in charge of the RAW program, there have been several on-screen characters through history who’ve donned the role of the RAW General Manager, playing the part of the authority figure. Some of the most famous on-screen General Managers are Eric Bischoff, John Laurinaitis, Mick Foley, and Kurt Angle. There have been other WWE Superstars in charge of RAW on camera including Baron Corbin and Alexa Bliss. Currently, Adam Pearce acts as the on-screen executive.
Perhaps the most infamous of all the RAW General Managers was Hornswoggle.
