Okay, so I’ve been a WWE fan for like, forever. And one question that always pops up, especially when I’m trying to plan my week, is “how long is WWE Raw?” It seems like a simple question, but sometimes it felt like it varied, and I wanted the definitive answer. So, I did a little digging and here’s what I went through.
My Quest for the Raw Runtime
First, I checked the official WWE website. I figured, who better to tell me than the source, right? I scrolled through schedules, looked at upcoming events, but I couldn’t find a clear, consistent answer for just the length of the show itself. Lots of info about start times and pre-shows, but not the actual runtime I need.
Next, I hit up some wrestling forums and fan sites. I figured these guys are dedicated, they must know. I read through threads, saw some people saying “around 3 hours,” others saying “it depends,” and some even saying “with commercials, it feels like forever!” Not exactly helpful, but it gave me a general ballpark.
So, to get a more solid answer, I decided to do some firsthand observation. I grabbed my remote, made some snacks, and settled in for a few weeks of Raw. I started my stopwatch when the opening pyro hit and stopped it at the very end, when the screen was black.
The Results Are In!
Here’s what I found after my highly scientific, very serious research (haha):
- Most of the time, Raw runs for about three hours. That’s from the actual start of the show to the very end, excluding any pre-show shenanigans.
- sometimes it’s a little over three hours, maybe by 5 or 10 minutes.
- I also noticed that sometimes it a littler shorter,but that was pretty rare.
So, there you have it. If you’re planning your Monday night around Raw, block out about three hours of your time. You might get a few extra minutes, you might get a tiny bit less, but three hours is a pretty safe bet. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got some wrestling to watch!
