WWE Starting RAW Events On Monday Earlier, New Show?

May 14, 2012

In July, WWE is advertising that Monday night RAW events will begin 45 minutes earlier than normal. Currently when you attend a Monday RAW event, WWE begins the show at 8:15pm EST with dark matches, matches taped for Superstars and video packages. It is expected that beginning in July, RAW events will start at 7:30pm EST.

F4Wonline.com is reporting the starting time change may have something to do with WWE wanting to have a countdown show leading up to RAW going live.

Last year, WZ was the first to report WWE had been developing plans to have some kind of "pre-game" show prior to RAW going live on USA network. As the WWE network launch continued to get pushed back, so did talks of this concept.
