TV rating for WWE Raw is changing.
According to Andrew Zarian of Mat Men podcast (and Jon Alba's hair), WWE Raw will be rated TV-14 on USA Network beginning on July 18.
WWE has been rated TV-PG since July 2008, moving to the PG Era of the company.
Starting July 18th WWE Raw will have a TV-14 rating moving forward on USA Network.
