ESPN gains the rights to 'U.S. Open' from USA Network + Backlash PPV
On Monday, May 12, 2008 at 6:00 PM EST According to a report by The Wrestling Observer, WWE Monday Night Raw will no longer be bumped for the U.S. Open on the USA Network as ESPN signed a six-year deal to gain the rights for the U.S. Open today. This will go into effect in 2009, so USA will still have it in September and it is doubtful they will bump Raw for it. USA has had the rights to the U.S. Open since 1985.
