When was the last time Raw was preempted on USA? Feels like this hasn't happened for quite a while.

That is a bit nuts not even just a week but 2 is Raw getting bumped off and it aint even for dogs this time.
That feels like a bit of a message being sent down to WWE maybe not overtly but one that we may hear more things surrounding as negotiations for a new TV deal get closer.

NBC Universal closed NBC Sports Network at the start of the year, so USA Network and CNBC are showing a lot more sports now. Premiere League Soccer is now on USA seemingly every day.

Dammit, I was hoping for the return interference of the dogs!

I clicked on this thread expecting a premature April Fools joke.
It is the Winter Olympics, but still... WWE has to realize their product is bad enough to get pushed aside for two weeks.

I'm not going to look too deeply into this one given the fact that NBCSN doesn't exist anymore. I'm not sure that this is so much a comment on RAW but the fact that the Olympics are the freakin' Olympics.

They're just lucky NBC lost the NHL rights. I would imagine the same thing would happen in May/June if that was the case.

I’d say this was likely briefed well in advance because, like you said, it’s the Olympics. Same with Smackdown being moved to FS1 every year, there are always higher priorities for channels. They're just lucky NBC lost the NHL rights. I would imagine the same thing would happen in May/June if that was the case. This too. It’s fine now but I can’t imagine it being useful for a longer period near the summer.

They moved Raw to Thursday one week in February because of the dog show, plus Raw aired on SyFy for a week or two in August/September due to tennis (with an 11:00 PM replay on USA).

I know it won't count but I still desperately need there to be weeks where even through total horseshit and interference, Dynamite beats Raw. I hope Tony is stacking those weeks with the most.

I'm just wondering why it's happening this time when during the summer USA interrupted 24/7 Olympic coverage for Raw.
Yes, NBCSN existed, but that was used mostly for reruns, while CNBC was airing what USA would've aired.
