On the recent TKO Q4 2023 Earnings Call, TKO CFO Andrew Schleimer talked about the situation and noted that the company intends to find a home for the show in the final months of 2024.

These domestic licenses together account for a very significant portion of our media segment revenues and profitability. No assurances can be provided as to the outcome of these negotiations and, if we are unable to renew existing agreements or find alternative streaming or distribution partners, our results of operations could be adversely impacted.”
Schleimer went on to say that he believes Raw will be aired in the fourth quarter, while
