Leaked photo confirming WWE's major change to Monday Night RAW in 2025 is reportedly true (Exclusive)
Monday Night RAW is set to enter a new era in early January 2025 as the record-breaking $5 billion Netflix deal is set to kick in. A leaked photo that showed a major change to the red brand is seemingly true.
On the Q&A with Bill Apter and WrestleVotes on Backstage Pass, host Joe Lowry spoke to Bill Apter and WrestleVotes on a plethora of topics, including AJ Styles' injury, the potential main event of WrestleMania 41, Jacob Fatu, and more.
A leaked new logo for Monday Night RAW emerged on social media, leading to speculation on the major change for the show. WrestleVotes said that there is a new logo, signaling a major change. He also added that while it might not be the exact logo that has been leaked, it will likely be very similar.
"There is a new logo coming. The one that is leaked is right around what it's going to end up being and as it gets closer I'm sure we can secure the correct logo. But it's very similar to what is being planned."
Here is what the leaked logo looks like:
Why is Monday Night RAW only for two hours until the Netflix deal begins?
Although it was announced back in September that RAW would be two hours starting from October 7 until the end of the year, fans were still taken by surprise at the two-hour format, especially since it had been nearly 4,500 days since the last episode of the red brand was two hours.
Not only this, but people were surprisingly complaining about the two-hour format, feeling as though it wasn't enough for a show of that caliber. Some fans even stated that the proceedings felt a bit rushed.
According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE's deal for the red brand with the USA Network actually expired in October and they signed an extension until January.
It's yet to be seen whether RAW will be two or three hours on Netflix. Thanks to the nature of streaming, it looks like flexibility is going to be a major advantage for WWE.
