The upcoming WWE Monday Night RAW in Raleigh, North Carolina, on September 29, 2025, will now begin earlier than originally scheduled.
Ticketmaster has updated the official start time to 6:30 PM local time.
This adjustment has sparked speculation that the Netflix RAW broadcast may also go live an hour earlier that evening, and that WWE could be planning a double TV taping in Raleigh to ease the company’s packed October travel schedule.
Normally, doors for a RAW event open 30–60 minutes prior to the live broadcast, with fans in attendance treated to dark matches and tapings for WWE Main Event. The new 6:30 PM start time could signal a 7:00 PM RAW broadcast, instead of its traditional slot.
An earlier start would also create room for WWE to tape an additional show in advance. With a grueling October international schedule looming, the company could be looking to get ahead.
Here’s what the immediate lineup looks like:
- October 3 – WWE SmackDown
- October 6 – Monday Night RAW in Dallas, Texas
- October 10 – WWE SmackDown live from Perth, Australia
- October 11 – Crown Jewel Premium Live Event in Perth
- October 13 – Monday Night RAW in Perth
As of now, WWE has not officially confirmed any broadcast changes or a double taping, but the Ticketmaster update is the first sign that September 29 in Raleigh may not be a standard episode of RAW.
