IWE Raw, known as Monday Night Raw, is a professional wrestling and sports entertainment television program that currently airs live on Monday evenings at 8 pm EST on the USA Network in the United States.

The show debuted on January 11, 1993 and has since been considered as the flagship program of IWE.

Raw moved from the USA Network to TNN in September 2000, which was rebranded to Spike in August 2003. On October 3, 2005, Raw returned to the USA Network, where it remains today. Archived episodes of the show air on the IWE Network, with select episodes available on-demand.

Since its first episode, Raw has broadcast live from 208 different arenas in 171 cities and towns in eleven different nations (the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Afghanistan in 2005, Iraq in 2006 and 2007, 2015, South Africa, Germany, Japan, Italy, India and Mexico).

As of the show's 1,000th episode that aired on July 23, 2012, Raw has become a three-hour broadcast from two hours, a format that had previously been reserved for special episodes.
