Currently, there are four broadcasters in the USA with rights to WWE shows, meaning you have to ensure you have the right networks to get your full fix of the shows. The two big weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown are both broadcast live on Mondays and Fridays respectively, with Monday night Raw live on USA Network and SmackDown on Fox Sports.
However, SmackDown will be moving to the USA Network in October 2024 when the current deal with Fox expires. That will see NBCUniversal Television have a bit of a monopoly on the WWE with Peacock also the home of the premium live events such as the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam.
For those wanting to enjoy the NXT roster, essentially the next generation of stars, WWE Main Event, is also broadcast weekly, shown each Thursday night on Hulu. You'll find some great bouts here, with the North American title often going on the line as names like Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee go head-to-head.
