No, nobody's suggesting that Raw starts airing on TBS. Similarly, it'd be silly to imagine that USA Network chiefs would be thrilled if the longstanding Raw brand was replaced by Dynamite. What's meant here by "Dynamite would become Raw" is that Tony Khan's focus would likely shift.

In other words, Raw would become his main priority.

Vince McMahon's flagship celebrates 30 years of original, prime time television content this month. There's no way Khan p*sses that all up against a wall, nor would he find it easy to convince USA that they should abandon something with a proven track record. Ratings for Raw might be down, but they're still higher than AEW's.

In effect, Dynamite would still be All Elite's main show but not the one Tony spends most of his time fussing over. That could well be damaging long-term though, because one guy can only do so much. Khan may have to delegate Dynamite's content to somebody else.
