[RAW] Update on Weekend USA Network Show, Carlito, More

Archive

– Maria interviewed Carlito after RAW for a segment that appered on WWE.com.

– The October 3 RAW debut on USA will begin at 7:55 p.m. (five minutes ahead of the Spike TV UFC special), and be followed by a replay of the “best of” show that will originally air the Sunday before.

– The WWE Saturday program on USA will debut on October 8 and be called “WWE A.M. RAW.” WWE’s programs as of October will then include:

*Monday Night RAW – Mondays at 9pm on USA Network
*WWE A.M. RAW – Saturdays at 9am on USA Network
*Friday Night Smackdown – Fridays at 8pm on UPN
*RAW Spanish replay – TBD on mun2
*Saturday Night Main Event (as yet unnamed) – TBD on NBC

As of now, there is no Smackdown-branded “b-show” planned to replace Velocity, nor a WWE-wide weekly magazine to replace Experience. Both weekly syndicated recap shows Bottom Line and Afterburn will be cancelled as of the end of the month. No word on how this impacts international television moving forward.
