History
A.M Raw was an idea brought on by Vince McMahon in a attempt to gain the few viewers that watch TV around midnight on Saturday. On October 8, 2005, the WWE suceeded. They made a new program called A.M Raw. It debuted with the Raw introduction video (which the theme song at the time was "Across The Nation"), and it introduced some common themes of the show: It features a information bar at the bottom of the screen that gives weekly news updates from around the WWE. Also, A.M Raw was aired on Sunday mornings from 9e/10e. It was later dropped from that time slot.
