I don't think they'd get a whole RAW dedicated to them unless they were beloved by all. A segment, some mentions, and maybe scatter in some memories from the roster, but otherwise I think it'd be business as usual. Like a RAW is Owen-lite.

The Benoit RAW only happened the way it did because it caught everyone off guard that day. Had they found him, say, on Friday, regardless of circumstances, it would have been, at best, akin to the Owen RAW.

I think it would also depend on the circumstances, too. After Benoit, WWE is even shy about doing the graphics or mentioning the deaths.

As for guys who might get them that DON'T work for the company, outside of Hogan, I couldn't see them getting a RAW dedicated to them. Hogan I could absolutely see. One thing we have to keep in mind, and I know it's terrible to say this, but it'd be about the ratings for someone like Hogan. Benoit, Eddie and Owen died under contract, and that was a major reason they did what they did.
