New Home? Important Streaming Trend Could Shake Up AEW And WWE Television Deals

That’s a good sign. Wrestling is in a weird place when compared to mainstream sports. While wrestling is certainly an athletic endeavor, it is closer to a performance than a competition. At the same time, wrestling has quite the audience and that is something that can bring in quite a bit of money. Now the two biggest wrestling companies in the United States might be ready to use their audience to bring in a lot more money.

Monday Night Raw Date: October 18, 2021 Location: Golden 1 Center, Sacramento, California Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton It’s the go home show for Crown Jewel, though the audience is going to be decimated by a mixture of the MLB Playoffs and Monday Night Football. The card does include Charlotte defending the Raw Women’s Title against Bianca Belair, along with a rematch between Drew McIntyre/Big E. vs. Robert Roode/Dolph Ziggler. Let’s get to it. Here is Charlotte to get things going but she isn’t sure why there are no champagne and balloons for her final night on Raw. There is a conspiracy against her because Bianca Belair isn’t even on the roster yet but has two title shots this week! Charlotte: “AND YOU PEOPLE THINK I’M ENTITLED???” After dealing with the crown and various chants, Charlotte says Belair needs to get over it already because Charlotte is the mountain that she can’t climb.

Monday Night Raw Date: September 27, 2021 Location: Heritage Bank Center, Cincinnati, Ohio Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We’re done with Extreme Rules and the biggest changes involve a doll and this show. First up, Charlotte destroyed Lillie the doll last night, sending Alexa Bliss into an emotional breakdown.

Monday Night Raw Date: September 14, 2020 Location: Amway Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Michael Cole, Byron Saxton, Dolph Ziggler We are less than two weeks away from Clash Of Champions but more importantly this is In Your Face Raw, which is no way their big show to counter the debut of Monday Night Football.

Special Edition Of Monday Night Raw Featuring Packed Card

It’s an idea. There is no secret to the fact that Monday Night Raw is not doing so well with their television ratings and/or audience at the moment. The company has been rocked by the Coronavirus pandemic and need to do something to shake off their problems. It isn’t going to be made any better with Monday Night Football starting up again, but WWE already has a backup plan in mind. If there is one thing that WWE knows how to do, it is stack up a card. It helps a lot when you have a roster with so much talent and so many stories taking place at the same time.

That is what they are doing this coming Monday. During this week’s SmackDown, an advertisement ran for In Your Face Raw, which will air next week. The card will feature a variety of matches, including the previously announced Champions vs. Champions match with Sma..
