Single source, not confirmed. Heat 2/5 · Chatter
This is a rumor and it is not confirmed. WrestleVotes Radio, on Fightful Select, said on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026, that WWE Raw on Monday, Nov. 23, will begin live on Netflix at 6 PM ET from the INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. WWE has not announced a start time for the show, and we found no WWE statement on it.
The quick version
- Not confirmed by WWE. One outlet, WrestleVotes Radio, is the source of the 6 PM ET start. Other sites that carry it repeat that report.
- Reliability: Single source, not confirmed. The date, the venue and the Raw and SmackDown double taping are on WWE's own event list. The start time is not.
- Heat 2 of 5. It affects when fans watch, not who wins.
What is being reported
As printed by Ringside News, which transcribed the show, WrestleVotes' Joey Votes said: "As things currently stand, the November 23rd edition of Monday Night Raw from Wichita, Kansas will begin live on Netflix at 6pm as they will be doing yet another double taping to accommodate the superstars for the Thanksgiving holiday later that week."
Ringside News and eWrestlingNews both say SmackDown would be taped the same night for its Friday, Nov. 27 broadcast. Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 26. We have read Ringside News and eWrestlingNews in full. We did not hear the WrestleVotes show, which sits on Fightful Select.
What WWE has listed
WWE's event list shows a "Two Shows, One Night: RAW & SmackDown" date on Monday, Nov. 23, at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita at 4:30 PM, as we noted in our story on the December double tapings. The listing does not say what the 4:30 PM time refers to, and it does not give a Netflix start. 6 PM ET is 5 PM in Wichita, our conversion.
Raw has moved to 6 PM ET before. The Nov. 2 show in Brooklyn started at that time and aired live on Netflix, per Wrestling Inc. and BodySlam, as in our Nov. 2 results story. That makes the report plausible. It does not confirm it.
Both Nov. 23 shows are the last WWE TV before Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday, Nov. 28, in Houston, per Ringside News.
What would confirm or kill it
A WWE or Netflix listing or announcement with the start time would settle it. A listing at a different time would kill it. None has been reported.
Reported by: WrestleVotes Radio (Joey Votes) on Fightful Select, Nov. 12, 2026, as printed by Ringside News (Felix Upton) and eWrestlingNews (Sap Sinha). We read both in full. Wrestling Noticias, Wrestling Headlines, SmackdownOnYou and Yahoo Sports carry the same claim, and we saw them only as search excerpts. All of them trace to WrestleVotes, so they count as one source. We did not hear the WrestleVotes show and did not contact WWE or Netflix. Reliability: Single source, not confirmed. If WWE confirms a time, we will relabel this story and say so.
