WWE planning special episode for 30th anniversary of Raw

WWE is working on putting together a special episode to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Raw.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that WWE has started working on plans for Raw’s 30th anniversary. The episode is scheduled to take place this coming January.

They’ve started on plans for a major Raw episode in January to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the show. The first episode was January 11, 1993. Raw will in January 2032 become the longest running pro wrestling television show in the U.S. The current record is Portland Wrestling from January 10, 1953 to the end December 1991

WrestleVotes first reported that plans were in motion for the 30th anniversary episode. Their report noted that having the show take place at the Manhattan Center was being considered under WWE’s previous regime. It’s not known if that’s still the case with new leadership in place.

New York City’s Manhattan Center was the home of Raw when the show launched. In January 2018, Raw’s 25th anniversary episode took place at both the Barclays Center and Manhattan Center.
