WWE Monday Night Raw Review on 12.1.25 and discussion of TKO Stock prices and WWE future

  

                   MY REVIEW OF MONDAY NIGHT RAW ON DECEMBER 1st 2025

A lot has happened since we stopped THE OUTLAW WRESTLING CLUB PODCAST in the world of the WWE ( World Wrestling Entertainment Company.)

I have not done a podcast on the WWE in over a year since Spottily removed a live recording of the Podcast. Currently the WWE has also changed a lot in 2025.

So a short run down of events for the WWE was purchased by the UFC, in this purchase they re named the WWE stock to TKO.

As of today that stock is sitting at $200.00 per share. WWE also made some other moves this last year with the flagship show called Monday Night Raw leaving USA Network and moving to a streaming service called Netflix. Later in the year WWE also made a deal with ESPN and moved the pay per views to ESPN from Peacock. Currently the only way to watch the Pay Per Views is through paying ESPN $30 per month this was an increase from $10 on Peacock.

At this point even as a long time fan and  blogger & podcaster of WWE events I decided to step back from the WWE for a while. So I had not watched the WWE for several months. I did keep my subscription to Netflix that cost $7 per month so I could watch the Monday Night Raw episodes. I do not get USA so I can not watch Friday Night Smackdown, and I refuse to pay $30 a month for ESPN to watch the Pay Per Views.

However I see news feeds on my Facebook page OUTLAW SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT .

I saw several ads saying this was going to be an EPIC MONDAY NIGHT RAW so I thought well I will sit down and watch an episode.

I did watch the MONDAY NIGHT RAW EPISODE on December 1st 2025 but I would not call it EPIC!

Even though I had not watched in some time the show was good and I enjoyed it .

It was pretty much the same old WWE I had watched for years/ The story lines and wrestlers or entertainers as they like to be called may be changing but the story lines and matches seem to be about the same. 

I still love to watch it however and I will say it is entertaining!

TKO STOCK and WWE FUTURE

WWE has grown since I started watching it over 30 years ago, I owned stock in the company all the way till it changed to TKO.  I see the stock rising but the WWE is losing fans in the following ways.

1) EVENT PRICES 

Recently WWE has come under attack by many fans as the new company seems to jack the price of live events to extreme cost. In the past I have gotten to see major events for tickets under $50. To find that today is nearly impossible. 

The WWE is charging high ticket prices for live shows and it is starting to show in the seats. Recently some shows have been fairly empty.

It is cheaper to stay home and watch it on TV.

2) MOVING OFF NATIONAL TV

WWE moved off the USA network for Monday Night Raw and moved it to a paid channel called Netflix  Instead of watching it for free on the USA Network today you must pay at least $7 per month on Netflix to watch Monday Night Raw.

3) MOVING PAY PER VIEWS TO ESPN

In a recent move the WWE also moved all Pay Per Views off a channel called Peacock where WWE fans could pay $10 per month and watch all the WWE Pay Per Views. The WWE moved this to ESPN and currently charges $30 per month.

THE FUTURE OF WWE and TKO STOCK

The company is definitely doing something for investors as for years the WWE stock sat around $20 and since the takeover has risen all the way to today's price of $200. I don't think I would currently buy the stock at this price but that is my own opinion.

As a long time fan many of the entertainers I grew up watching are leaving and a new generation is coming. 

As far as the WWE as long as there are fans to watch the shows, go to live events, buy merchandise the WWE is not gonna go anywhere. However if the WWE keeps pushing fans away with high prices on live events, and keeps pushing fans away with high rates on watching on TV it may be a different story.
