The website posted the USA Network press release under the title, &#8220;Donald Trump Buys WWE\u2019s Monday Night RAW.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After receiving a firestorm of criticism from readers, the website later changed the title to &#8220;Fictional? Donald Trump Buys WWE\u2019s Monday Night RAW.&#8221;  Interestingly, the article author did not appear certain the storyline was a work, noting &#8220;If it is indeed fiction, then just enjoy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a later update on the ratings for last week&#8217;s RAW, the website noted, &#8220;allegedly WWE RAW was just purchased by Donald Trump \u2013 The Donald made Vince an offer he couldn\u2019t refuse \u2014 whether like the show, that announcement was for entertainment purposes only, we\u2019ll see!&#8221;  Again, the story&#8217;s writer remains open to the idea that WWE&#8217;s announcement during RAW was real.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, it was not.  Since it does apparently need to be said, the &#8220;sale&#8221; of Monday Night RAW to Donald Trump is a storyline.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\donald trump&#038;iid=4994394\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/6\/c\/d\/f\/The_Cinema_Society_67be.jpg?adImageId=1605524&#038;imageId=4994394\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"The Cinema Society &#038;
