WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is giving away $1 Million each week on the USA Network.

On USA’s Monday Night RAW, where "Characters are welcome", Vince McMahon, World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman is upping the ante for the die-hard WWE fans: Come to the show, win $1 million in dough.

Mr. McMahon, Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, promised that Monday Night RAW would end with something extraordinary, and true to his word, it did. In a blockbuster announcement, the Chairman said he will give away $1 million of his personal fortune to show appreciation to the viewers of Monday Night RAW in the United States.
 
McMahon promised that the details of his million dollar cash giveaway would be revealed on RAW next week. One thing is guaranteed; over the weeks to come, the great fans of Monday Night RAW will not just walk away with the best action on television; but some will walk away richer thanks to McMahon.

“I think the fans deserve something epic, something that is truly monumental,” said McMahon.  “This is not a hoax.  This is not a trick of some kind.  This is from my own personal bank account.  I’m going to give away cash money in the sum of $1 million.”
 
That was not the only bombshell that McMahon dropped on the RAW audience. The Chairman also announced that a Draft will take place at the end of June, and that all performers from RAW, SmackDown and ECW will be eligible. 

Every Superstar, Diva and announcer can be drafted to any brand, and the unpredictable nature of the Draft is sure to keep the respective locker rooms abuzz in the coming weeks.  “I think our fans deserve new Superstars, hot new Divas, new rivalries,” said McMahon in announcing the upcoming Draft.
