Fightful is reporting that WWE RAW will not be allowed any leeway in extending their programming, and that they will have a ‘hard’ out time of 11 pm EST.
From the 90s, Monday Night RAW has enjoyed a ‘soft’ out time, meaning that they could afford certain segments dragging out past the stipulated finishing time. This came in particularly handy when the WWE and WCW were both trying to glean an advantage over the other in whichever way possible.
However, a source close to the situation has claimed that this situation is set to change from as soon as next week’s episode of RAW. Fightful is also reporting that this change is happening because of a directive from USA Network.

Currently, SmackDown Live is also operating under a strict out time. It looks like we can expect Monday Night RAW to follow suit as well.
