WWE presented a pre-taped episode of RAW last night featuring several exciting matches and segments. Surprisingly, an advertisement for AEW's brand-new show on FOX was aired during the broadcast.
AEW recently announced its new broadcasting deal with FOX Sports Mexico. According to reports, it is a multi-year agreement that will also see the promotion introduce a brand new program named All Elite Show, which will air on Monday nights.
AEW's new show and RAW will be airing on the same channel for the foreseeable future. The broadcasters even advertised All Elite Wrestling's upcoming program on the latest edition of Monday Night RAW.

Eric Bischoff on WWE RAW moving to Netflix
In January 2025, Monday Night RAW will officially move to Netflix, ending its historic run as the longest-running episodic television show in history. Before the transition, viewers have been speculating how the program will be presented in January. Meanwhile, World Wrestling Entertainment's head of creative Triple H has hinted at some huge changes.
On a recent edition of his 83 Weeks podcast, former RAW general manager Eric Bischoff commented on Netflix releasing a documentary on former CEO Vince McMahon. He claimed that the six-part series could hurt the promotion before RAW's big premiere on the streaming service in January.
"I'm confused. The situation is confusing for me. This is Netflix, who just signed a $5 billion deal with WWE. The ink is still drying, they haven't even had their first show yet, but Netflix is going to take, what has been the face of WWE, and they're going to expose him to the world in a way that is not going to be flattering to the brand. One would think it would not be flattering to the brand."
Recent reports have suggested that RAW's first episode on Netflix can feel like a premium live event. Fans will have to wait and see how things shape up in January 2025.
