Donald Trump Buys WWE Monday Night Raw

there is no chance in hell that vince would sell raw. just another storyline where vince wins back raw at summerslam

Trump sold RAW back to McMahan for double what he paid for it.

well i thought it was bull crap too why would he sell he doesnt need money!i saw on news this morning that it was sold or at least then name was sold to trump,i still feel like it is just a story line

i got my ass kicked but my father n law Vince bought RAW back ..

It's not a storyline that's what Mr. McMahon wants us WWE fans to think but it's really not a storyline. I love Monday Night Raw and just to hear that Donald Trump brought Raw last night or over the weekend shears me apart just because The Donald is well known.

Lol! Could you see Trump telling Orton hes fired or H? LMAO or the big show being fired.

I am disappoinet to see the Raw was sold. i really loved the drama that McMahon family brought to the RAW. I don;t like the ego of Donald Trumph. i think will stop watching Raw as many else would do, Smackdon is not so fun as Raw because Mchanon's rarely appear in the show, he should have sold Smackdown instead of Raw

Until i see a formal contract i do not fully believe that this is 4 real. I think we all remember the publicity stunts that McMahon has pulled in the past. (ex. exploding limo) However if it is 4 real, i for one am pleased that McMahon is no longer in charge of raw.  The show has become extremely predictable, boring, and lacks talent. Also, im tired of seein john cena and triple H.  I would much rather see evan bourne, MVP, John Morrison, or Kofi KIngston in the main event. 

PS: Finlay is ruined. (used to be one of my favorites until he came out with a midget and no moves)

I think it's a storyline , because i would think Vince McMahon would keep the business in the family. Besides he brought raw and the rest of wwe from nothing just samll house shows to selling out around the world....It wouldn't be the same without the Vince and the McMahon family.....

who like's penut butter ?

So ok is it true? I have been on loads of websites now and this is one of the most believable but alot of them are saying its not true?!!? I'm confused help!!

I

well i personally want to see some proof or something to this really taking place and if raw was an idependent cooporation now wouldnt Trump change the name from wwe and no longer be part of smackdown and ecw? also what does Mr Mcmahon do really he pays everyone else to do his jobs and earn loads form the business so why would he need to sell it and if Vince gets bored or needs to retire then Shane will take it over. Anyway i think it will be some build up to a PPV maybe Summerslam? and all of this will come to an end and Vince will have Raw back.

But on the other hand if Raw has been bought and taken over by Trump for good then its something we are going to have to live with no matter how much we hate him or perhaps like him, all hes going to do to be honest is just try and make ratings increase and make the programmae more interesting although WWE is the best thing in the world soo....i just wouldn't worry about this.

It is just another storyline to increase their TRP ratings.For the last 2 years Raw often had same pattern repeated,to spice up things vince perhaps has planned to bring a new ownership angle.This would probably last till wrestlemania 26.Till then Raw will see a major impact because of Donald Trumps involvement.Trump is just working with vince on a contract and there is no way Vince selling the oldest brand of WWE.Trump being the owner and creator of several reality shows would be working as creative director for this angle.

Hope to see SHOCKERS.....

USA clarifies WWE-Trump sale remarks

NEW YORK, June 18 (UPI) -- The USA Network Thursday apologized for confusing statements it made regarding the fictional sale of its "WWE Monday Night RAW" program to Donald Trump.

"USA Network and WWE issued a press release on June 16 that referred to 'Monday Night RAW's' storyline of a 'sale' of 'WWE's RAW' to Donald Trump," the network said in a statement.

"We intended the release to be promotional for that ongoing story arc on the series. There is no such actual 'sale.' We apologize for any confusion."

Well the way I see it is that if it was true, then it would be all over the news channels and entertainment tonight etc.  Anytime something has officially gone down such as the Benoit situation, it has been all over the news!  So I say False!

This is really Xtreeeeeeeeeeeeeemmmmm  this is all vince's mind game.

This is the funniest group of comments ever.  Anyone actually debating whether this was an actual "sale" of Raw to Trump has to have had vodka for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Did any of you really beleve the Undertaker came back from the dead?  Anyway thanks for making me laugh by believing and debating this, made me laugh out loud.  Oh and this will suck as a story line, just as almost all of them have since 2001. 

Are u people serious???  U actually believe Raw was sold????  LOL  This is entertainment and nothing more.

If you listened carefully, it said this news was reported EXCLUSIVELY on WWE.COM.  If it had relly happened, it would of been reported PUBLICLY on all kinds of media. So Walla.........it's another STORYLINE.

Ha Ha this is pure BS. But I think the fact we are discussing it means WWE accomplished their goal by pulling this gimmick. I think Vince called in a favor and Trump is probably financing the commercial free episode - but that's about it.

Hey I'm all for it if Donald has more of the women wrestling on the show.    The show is called "Raw".    Let the women handle it and send the men to Smackdown.
