It may have not been very successful, but Spike TV did manage to
censor some mentions of USA Network from yesterday's RAW broadcast. Over
the past couple of weeks commentators have refrained from mentioning the
rival cable channel that they are switching to however yesterday with
the last RAW ever on Spike TV, WWE went ahead and did what they had to
do to inform viewers that from next week, RAW is moving to USA and will
no longer be on Spike. Spike managed to censor McMahon in the opening
segment, the Coach and even Lawler throughout the broadcast but
eventually let them do all the mentioning they want to in the final two
quarters of the show after an agreement was reached during the late part
of the show. The feed in the United Kingdom was not censored and the
whole interview and commentary was played with all the USA Network
mentions.
