-- WWE President Nick Khan appeared on the Pat McAfee show following the blockbuster announcements this morning, which included the news that Raw is moving to Netflix beginning in 2025. The topic of whether the show could move off Mondays was discussed and here's what he had to say:
"At this moment in time, it remains Monday Night Raw but keep in mind, we've got 10 and a half months until this deal's up and running so we're looking at what you're looking at and what everyone else is looking at. You have a proliferation of gambling with Monday Night Football. You have an enhanced Disney package, better games, all credit to Jimmy Pitaro (ESPN), the Bobfather as Pat you and I call him, you coined that term, Bob Iger and all the other good folks at Disney."
"You've got the Manningcast. This year, it was on ABC and ESPN Monday Night Football. You got last season the playoff game that they got I believe was Tom Brady at the Cowboys, the season before, whatever that was. You also have the college national championship, football and hoops on Mondays. So, you've got a lot of Mondays where there is stiff competition."
"With that said, even against Alabama/Michigan and the Washington/Texas game a few weeks ago, Monday Night Raw did a 0.6 in the 18 to 49 demo, which is a massive rating against big competition. If we stay on Monday's, it'll work, if we move to a different day, we think it'll work too. "
