Below are some top WWE news stories of the day.

• In a significant announcement, WWE revealed that its flagship program, Monday Night RAW, will continue airing on the USA Network until the culmination of 2024, after which it will transition to Netflix starting January 2025.

This decision was disclosed in the TKO First Quarter 2024 Earnings Report, which outlined WWE’s successful negotiation of a $25 million domestic media rights agreement with NBCUniversal. This agreement secures RAW’s presence on the USA Network for the fourth quarter of 2024, ensuring continuity for fans of the long-running program.
