WWE is making changes to RAW three times in the coming weeks. Reports have surfaced about the same.
RAW is set to kick off at an earlier start time for the third week in a row this week. It will start at 7 PM EST. It will then return to its usual start time for the next week, taking place at 8 PM EST on October 6. That is also the scheduled time for the last two shows of the month, which are taking place on October 20 and 27. However, it will not be happening on October 13, as Netflix has listed the show to start at 8 AM EST, which is a full 12 hours earlier than normal.
According to reports by Fightful Select, the reason for the October 13 broadcast is that it will be taking place after Crown Jewel in Australia, which will also be live in the country. The result is a 12-hour time difference.
WWE is also supposed to be reviewing the start times for the shows in Boston and Madison Square Garden, and assess whether changes could benefit the live audience and fans at home as well. This seems to indicate a willingness for Netflix and WWE to be ready to move away from the traditional 8 PM start time regularly.

WWE RAW has been the company's major offering for years
While WWE RAW has been the company's biggest attraction for a record number of years, it is clear that the current management will not shy away from making changes to it.
As has been seen since it went to Netflix, the usual runtime is not the original two hours or the later three hours, but a 2.5-hour time slot. While the company can extend the show at times, it usually ends around that time.
Very few things have changed about the show over its life, but now it seems that it is changing under Triple H's leadership.
