WWE A.M. Raw, a Saturday night/Sunday morning show, airs on the at 2 a.m. ET. It features segments from the latest episode of WWE Raw. A.M. Raw also features news updates from all across the WWE. The show mostly airs the main event matches and promos that aired on Raw, and shows the event schedule for the upcoming weeks.
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 succeeded. 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.
Ratings History
Since A.M Raw airs during the midnight hour, it doesn't have as high ratings as Raw or Smackdown. However, A.M Raw is the #1 show on cable at its timeslot. It gains an average 0.82 rating.
International Marketing
The show currently airs on the USA Network (and on Wednesdays on, Saturdays on, and Sundays on in ) in the United States. Occasionally, Raw is aired on same-day tape delay when WWE is on an overseas tour.
