7. 23 Seasons And 1,150 Episodes As Of June 8 2015
At the time of writing, Raw is into its twenty-third season and is currently on episode 1,150, which is of course a number that increases each week. The longevity was helped greatly by the benefit of competition from 1995 to 1999. WCW Nitro really made Vince McMahon and his crew work harder than they would have if they'd been unopposed. The benefits of monopoly then helped Raw to settle in as an institution on Monday nights in the last fifteen years. For the last ten years, John Cena has been the face of the show and that's also helped to establish a period of consistency.
