- USA Network and WWE issued a press release regarding the sale of RAW to Donald Trump to get more media attention. "The terms of the deal were not disclosed," said the press release.

All three parties are going full speed ahead with the angle which the company hopes it will spark some new interest in RAW and stop the falling ratings.

"The Monday Night RAW franchise has been one of the top cable franchises since its launch 17 years ago," said Donald Trump. "I'm going to do things on the show that have never been done or seen before. As my first act as owner, I am doing something unprecedented. I am giving back to the people who have been loyal all these years. For the first time in more than 838 episodes of RAW, next week's show will be live and commercial free."

USA Network's EVP of Marketing, Digital and Brand Strategy also commented on the "sale".

"Donald Trump is one of the most entertaining personalities with one of the sharpest business minds of our time. He's always had the Midas touch, which will only add to the level of excitement for the loyal fans of WWE Monday Night Raw," he said.
