USA Network is not bringing back “Tough Enough,” but WWE will soon reclaim the 8PM Monday timeslot on a permanent basis.
WWE announced Thursday that the weekly RAW telecast will expand to three hours in conjunction with the 1000th episode of the show on July 23. From that point forward, each and every addition of RAW will begin at 8PM and last through its normal conclusionary time of after 11PM.
Incorporated into the change will be an increased emphasis on the show’s interactivity across social media platforms. Vince McMahon noted that the new-look RAW will enlist fans in helping to “create” the show they are watching.
“The expanded WWE Monday Night Raw will transform television to an unprecedented level of viewer interaction. Fans will have new ways to get involved in the show through WWE.com and social media by deciding matches, stipulations and new character development. WWE will brand this unprecedented fan interaction as ‘#RAWactive,'” confirmed a press release on the matter.
