The '''June 25, 2007 Edition of [[RAW]]''' is a [[Professional wrestling]] television show of the [[WWE]]'s [[RAW]] brand, took place on June 25, 2007 at the [[American Bank Center]] in [[Corpus Christi, Texas]].

==Summary==

This [[RAW]] show was the first [[WWE]] event following the news regarding the [[Chris Benoit double murder-suicide|deaths]] of WWE superstar [[Chris Benoit]], his wife [[Nancy Benoit|Nancy]] and their son, Daniel. This Raw episode was originally scheduled to be a 3-hour tribute to the life of [[Vince McMahon|Mr. McMahon]] following the [[kayfabe|angle]] where he had supposedly been killed in a limousine explosion weeks earlier. However, due to the real-life deaths of Chris Benoit and his family, WWE canceled their plans and changed it into a tribute to the career of Chris Benoit. In the middle of an empty arena, Vince McMahon broke character to announce the news and what followed was various highlights of Chris Benoit's career, including clips primarily from his ''[[Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story|Hard Knocks]]'' DVD released in 2004. Various wrestlers including [[Edge]] and [[Triple H]] among others also appeared on screen to give their thoughts and paying tribute. Following the show, the circumstances surrounding the deaths and Chris Benoit's alleged role in them were published and due to the controversy, WWE decided to remove all mentions of the tribute show and Chris Benoit from their website as well as the pulling the Raw show from international markets that aired Raw on a tape delay basis. Instead, other countries aired a different episode which showed highlights of various title matches over the past year, hosted by [[Todd Grisham]]. WWE has since then never acknowledged the Chris Benoit tribute and even on the [[WWE Network]], they have uploaded the international version in its place.
