WWE RAW

WWE RAW is the Monday night professional wrestling show for World Wrestling Entertainment.

The program is usually 2 hours long, with a built-in overrun of about 10-15 minutes. Beginning in 1997, the two hours of RAW had different names for television ratings purposes, so WWE could demand higher advertising charges for the more-watched second hour. Prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks, the two hours were known as RAW is WAR and The War Zone, as WAR is the anagram of RAW. References to WAR were eliminated afterward, calling the first hour simply WWF RAW and the second hour as The RAW Zone. When the change was made, the entire program was just referred to as WWF RAW (and later WWE RAW) on-camera.
