According to new information, some colossal changes may be coming to WWE Raw, but not for some time. The wrestling program first moved from TV-PG to a TV-14 rating back in the year 1997. However, over a decade ago, in July 2008 the television program made the leap to change its rating from TV-14 to TV-PG once again.

It was recently reported in a since-deleted tweet from Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men podcast thatWWE Rawis making the executive decision to shift itsTV-PG rating to TV-14as soon as the following Monday. Sharing the news via Twitter Zarian wrote, “Starting July 18thWWE Rawwill have a TV-14 rating moving forward on the USA Network," Continuing on, he added, “The PG Era is over."

However, Zarian later clarified that this information was written in a memo that was sent out prematurely, and that the move had not been finalized. In an earlier tweet, he noted that this could still be a change coming at a later date. According to the TV Parental Guidelines, TV-14 programs fall under the following criteria, ”contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.”On the other hand, TV-PG programsare said to “contain material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children." Although the changes seem slight, on screen they could be major.

A proposed shift in the rating ofWWE Rawmay seem minuscule, considering it’s only moving one step up the ladder, however, the program could find itself actually depicting major shifts. For example, the violence depicted could illustrate a lot more blood than it has in the past decade, causing its demographic to change a lot.WWEprograms typically target younger children, but if the violence intensifies parentsmight refrain from allowing their children to indulgein the program, causingWWE Raw’sviewership to shift with its shiny new rating.

Nonetheless, a decision to change the rating ofWWE Rawwould a bold one, but it’s one the company has done in the past. That being said, potentially switching things up could definitely bring some new life and fire back to the franchise and might just work inWWE Raw’sfavor as it allows for the program to reach a much larger audience.
