WWE Bottom Line is a syndicated television program which recaps the events which takes place on WWE's weekly flagship program, Raw. It replaced WWE's previous syndicated highlight show, WWF LiveWire. Its name is a reference to the same catchphrase used by WWE legend, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The show was originally broadcast domestically in the United States from May 24, 2002 [1] to September 2005, when it was removed from domestic syndication. Following this, Bottom Line was and still is broadcast in international markets to fulfil programming commitments. It is broadcast in Italy on GXT, in Spain on GOL, in Philippines on Solar Sports, and in the Middle East on ShowSports 4 and Orbit Showtime Network. In South Africa WWE Bottom Line airs on eKasi+ on Tuesdays at 10.00pm with a repeat the following Friday afternoon at 1.30pm.
On February 16, 2008, Bottom Line celebrated its 300th episode, just as its sister show Afterburn did on the next morning. On the December 17, 2011, Bottom Line celebrated its 500th episode, airing the 2011 Slammy Award matches and awards presentation.
