Over the past 22 years, WWE Raw has been aired from 171 cities and towns in ten different nations. As well, WWE is literally first-run broadcast worldwide, and via the company's strong digital and online presence, the company has full saturation in likely every nook and cranny of the globe. Add in the tradition of global super-stardom of WWE performers like Frenchman Andre the Giant and Mexican-American performers Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero and more, and it certainly behooves WWE to have a global aspect to their presentation. As WWE looks with greater interest to global locales and to online broadcasting, do expect that what is becoming an increasingly diverse array of non-United States born performers will only increase.
