WWE Superstars from both Monday

competing, and special appearances by WWE Legends
Undertaker®, Shawn Michaels® and Kevin Nash®,
amongst others. VIP packages, including a meet and greet with a WWE
Legend, will be available for fans at Manhattan Center.
“We look forward to celebrating this unmatched milestone with

WWE surprising, delighting and entertaining generations to come,”
said WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon.
Monday Night Raw debuted on January 11, 1993 from the Manhattan
Center, and since that time, has been broadcast from iconic venues
around the world. Raw is the longest-running, weekly episodic
program in U.S. primetime TV history and is one of the
most-watched, regularly scheduled programs on cable, airing live
every Monday night on USA. Each week, it is rated one of the most
socially active shows and continues to be a “must-stop” for
celebrities to reach WWE’s TV audience and its more than 825
million social media followers. Raw has aired more original
episodes than some of the most popular television series of all
time, including The Simpsons, Gunsmoke, Lassie and Monday Night
Football.
In its 25-year history, Raw has also helped launch the careers
of pop-culture icons including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, “Stone
Cold” Steve Austin, Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena and The Bella
Twins.

to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation, risks relating to: WWE Network; major
distribution agreements; our need to continue to develop creative
and entertaining programs and events; the possibility of a decline
in the popularity of our brand of sports entertainment; the
continued importance of key performers and the services of Vincent
K. McMahon; possible adverse changes in the regulatory atmosphere
and related private sector initiatives; the highly competitive,
rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of the markets
in which we operate and greater financial resources or marketplace
presence of many of our competitors; uncertainties associated with
international markets; our difficulty or inability to promote and
conduct our live events and/or other businesses if we do not comply
with applicable regulations; our dependence on our intellectual
property rights, our need to protect those rights, and the risks of
our infringement of others’ intellectual property rights; the
complexity of our rights agreements across distribution mechanisms
and geographical areas; potential substantial liability in the
event of accidents or injuries occurring during our physically
demanding events including, without limitation, claims relating to
CTE; large public events as well as travel to and from such events;
our feature film business, including anticipated release, marketing

McMahon exercises control over our affairs, and his interests may
conflict with the holders of our Class A common stock; a
substantial number of shares are eligible for sale by the McMahons
and the sale, or the perception of possible sales, of those shares
could lower our stock price; and the relatively small public
“float” of our Class A common stock. In addition, our dividend is
dependent on a number of factors, including, among other things,
our liquidity and historical and projected cash flow, strategic
plan (including alternative uses of capital), our financial results
and condition, contractual and legal restrictions on the payment of
dividends (including under our revolving credit facility), general
economic and competitive conditions and such other factors as our
