Raw (WWE brand)
Raw is a brand of the U.S. based professional wrestling promotion WWE. The brand was first established on March 25, 2002, with a draft on "Monday Night Raw" and went into effect one week later on April 1. The brand split was discontinued in August 2011, but was brought back in July 2016. Wrestlers assigned to the Raw brand wrestle predominantly on the "Raw" television program as well as "Main Event", the seasonal "Mixed Match Challenge", and Raw branded or co-branded pay-per-view events and WWE Network events. During the first brand split, they also competed on "Heat" and on "ECW" under a talent exchange program.
WWE Magazine
Shortly before that, the WWF/E had split up into two brands, Raw and SmackDown!. "WWE Magazine" and "Raw Magazine" were unaffected, however, until the January 2004 issues, in which WWE decided to have separate magazines for their respective brands. "Raw Magazine" retained its name but followed the style of "WWE Magazine" however; it focused solely on the Raw brand. "WWE Magazine" became "SmackDown! Magazine", and would focus solely on the SmackDown! brand. That lasted until the summer of 2006, in which "Raw Magazine" and "SmackDown Magazine" would be discontinued and a new "WWE Magazine" would debut with the August 2006 issue (Dave Batista cover).
