WWE RAW Moving to Earlier Time Slot on Netflix Soon

WWE RAW fans might want to check their clocks next month. If you’re planning to watch the red brand on Netflix in September, prepare for an earlier start than usual.

According to the current Netflix listings, WWE RAW will begin airing at 7 p.m. ET for the September 15, September 22, and September 29 episodes—an hour earlier than the traditional 8 p.m. ET slot fans have grown used to.

While WWE hasn’t offered an official explanation for the schedule tweak, it’s worth pointing out that NFL football season begins on September 4. That timing has fans speculating that the move could be a strategic shift to avoid direct conflict with prime-time football coverage. However, that remains unconfirmed.

Things appear to return to normal in October—except for the October 13 episode, which will have an unusually early start time of 8 a.m. ET due to the show airing live from Perth, Australia.

Time shifts aren’t entirely new for RAW. The August 25 episode began at 3 p.m. ET since it was taped in Birmingham, England. The September 1 episode is set for a 2 p.m. ET start time due to its location in Paris, France.

With WWE expanding its global footprint and adapting to local markets, these unusual start times may become a regular occurrence. Still, the early September move to 7 p.m. remains a curious decision—especially with no official reason attached.
