Raw is XXX (pronounced "Raw is Thirty") was a professional wrestling television special of WWE's weekly television series, Monday Night Raw. The special episode was held on January 23, 2023, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was broadcast live on the USA Network. It was a commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the program's debut in January 1993 as well as the final Raw before the 2023 Royal Rumble event. The event set a financial record for the company, becoming the highest-grossing domestic gate in Raw's history.

The event also featured various appearances from WWE Hall of Famers. These included, among others, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker—who both notably appeared on the very first episode of Raw—Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, X-Pac, Teddy Long, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Ron Simmons, "Road Dogg" Jesse James (who is the WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events), Triple H (who is the WWE Chief Content Officer), Hulk Hogan, "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, Jimmy Hart, Mike "I.R.S." Rotunda, Lita, Alundra Blayze, The Godfather, Diamond Dallas Page, and Booker T.

Four matches were contested on the event's card, as well as several segments featuring current wrestlers and the returning WWE Hall of Famers and veterans; many of these segments progressed storylines for the upcoming Royal Rumble event. In the main event, Austin Theory defeated Bobby Lashley in a No Disqualification match to retain the United States Championship, thanks to a returning Brock Lesnar, in his first appearance since Crown Jewel in November 2022, who attacked Lashley. In another prominent match, which was the first match on the event's card, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn, who substituted for Jimmy Uso after Jimmy suffered an injury (kayfabe), defeated The Judgment Day (Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio) to retain the Raw Tag Team Championship.

In one of the segments, The Undertaker and Bray Wyatt shared the ring in a segment with LA Knight, in which Undertaker seemingly gave Wyatt his approval in what many called a "passing of the torch" moment. Wyatt would later state how much this segment meant to him and his career. It would turn out to be Wyatt's final in-person appearance on Raw before his death later in the same year.^[2]
