- Fans attending Monday Night RAW next week will have to sit through four hours of television tapings as Saturday Night's Main Event is being taped along with RAW at the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. The show, taped in high definition, will air on August 2nd on NBC. This will be the first SNME for this year and the fifth since WWE brought it back in 2006. While the show was a huge hit on NBC in the late 80s and early 90s it has bombed big time in terms of ratings this time around.
