Good news UK fans – WWE shows will have an earlier start time over the next two weeks, including tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw.

Although there’s still a couple of weeks to go for us, the clocks have already gone back in the United States which means a change to the wrestling giant’s schedule on BT Sport.

So, whether you’re getting in a tactical pre-Raw nap or just wondering how much longer you’ve got till the show starts, we’ve got you covered.

There’s a lot going on with tonight’s event too with WWE Fastlane coming this Sunday and only three matches confirmed so far.

Here’s everything you need to know…

What time does WWE Raw start in the UK?

For the next couple of weeks, Monday Night Raw will kick off at the earlier time of midnight for fans in the UK.

It might not seem like a massive deal, but it’s the difference between a 3am or 4am finish – and every little counts!

Why is WWE Raw starting earlier and when do the clocks go back?

The clocks have already gone back in the United States, meaning the difference in time zones from there to the UK is an hour less.

Don’t worry though – over here, we’ve still got another couple of weeks to go until we lose an hour sleep at 1am on Sunday, 28 March.

WWE Monday Night Raw preview: Mustafa Ali faces Riddle for United States Championship

Tonight’s episode is looking pretty stacked, with a hard sell expected for WWE Fastlane, and some huge matches on tap for anyone tuning into Raw itself.

United States Champion Riddle – who beat Bobby Lashley and John Morrison for the gold at Elimination Chamber last month – will defend his title against RETRIBUTION leader Mustafa Ali.

Speaking of Lashley, the All Mighty dispatched of The Miz last week to retain his newly won WWE Championship, and now the official Raw preview on WWE.com ponders what could be next.

The CEO of the Hurt Business will have plenty on his plate tonight, as his stablemates Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander – who hold the Raw Tag Team Titles – will be in action against The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

*WWE Monday Night Raw airs from midnight on BT Sport.
