WWE Raw is once again listed in cable and satellite listings for its usual slot next Monday night. Previous listings had an NHL Playoff game between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning running in place of Raw on Monday night.
Powell’s POV: It was clearly an error, as the game was also listed for the NBC Sports Network on Monday. The updated guides now list Raw for USA Network, while the game will indeed air on NBC Sports Network. All of that said, I can’t be the only one who thinks Raw would actually benefit from a week off.
THere is no way that NBC UNIVERSAL would “bump” wwe programming for NHL games on USA network especially since NBC is out of the hockey business after the nhl playoffs finish in a few weeks. NBC is riding out the remainder of the nhl contract on nbc and nbc sports network.
