WWF Prime Time Wrestling was a professional wrestling television program produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It aired on the USA Network from 19851993. A precursor to Monday Night Raw, Prime Time Wrestling was a two-hour long, weekly program that featured stars of the World Wrestling Federation. The program featured wrestling matches (most of which were compiled from WWF "house show" matches from venues such as Madison Square Garden), interviews, promos featuring WWF wrestlers, updates of current feuds and announcements of upcoming local and pay-per-view events. In addition, Prime Time Wrestling would also air wrestling matches and interviews from other WWF programming such as Superstars of Wrestling and Wrestling Challenge

Some episodes of Prime Time Wrestling are available for streaming on the WWE Network.

Despite the format changes in its last years, the main focus of Prime Time Wrestling remained unchanged—recapping the highlights of the WWF's flagship syndicated programs and presenting occasional exclusive matches taped from the house show circuit. Selected matches from the past and present from WWF's flagship arenas of the time — Madison Square Garden in New York City, Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, the Spectrum in Philadelphia, the Capital Centre in the Washington suburb of Landover, Maryland, and the Boston Garden in Boston — that had aired on various regional sports networks were also aired on Prime Time Wrestling.
