This past Monday, WWE aired a special edition of WWE RAW called “RAW: The Absolute Best of 2022” on USA Network. In that episode of RAW, WWE reflected on the highlighted moments of RAW this year. Also, Cody Rhodes who suffered an injury last May appeared on screen and revealed his future plans.
Meanwhile, the same night the company held two live events in Columbus and New York instead of airing live WWE RAW. The reason WWE did two live events instead of airing live RAW is that the company wanted to give backstage staff additional time off for Christmas.
