RAW Preemptions on USA, Friday Night RAW vs. Friday Night SmackDown

The USA Network announced three preemptions for RAW in 2006:

Raw will not air on February 13, 2006 due to the Westminster Dog Show; it will be shown Wednesday, February 15.

Raw will not air August 28, 2006 due to the US Open; it will not be rescheduled.

Raw will not air September 4, 2006 due to the US Open; it will be shown Friday, September 8.

While not confirmed, this could be why WWE has registered a trademark for "Friday Night RAW". Assuming SmackDown will still be on UPN, WWE could have a "head-to-head" night having SmackDown and RAW airing against one another on the same night.
