2012

The Monsters, originally known as the Kentucky Monsters, were created due to a dispute with the Northern Kentucky River Monsters, who played the Ultimate Indoor Football League's (UIFL) inaugural season in Highland Heights until the team and the UIFL agreed to part ways. The latter Monsters were created in an attempt to retain the UIFL's rights on the Bank of Kentucky Center and to prevent the original tenants from using the arena. (The UIFL also secured the rights to the Cincinnati market, via the Cincinnati Commandos, to keep the River Monsters from taking root there as well.) The Monsters said they would maintain the River Monsters' prior records. With the objective of forcing the River Monsters out of the Northern Kentucky market having succeeded, the team never made it beyond the naming of a head coach; the Kentucky Monsters quietly folded prior to the 2012 season without playing any games in the UIFL.
2013
Its intellectual property rights were transferred to a proposed 2013 expansion team set to play in St. Charles, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis. John Parker, was named head coach. On March 8, 2013, the Missouri Monsters opened their season with a game against the Corpus Christi Fury, losing 74-37 in front of a crowd of 4,092
On March 26, 2013, head coach John Parker was fired, and Martino Theus was named head coach effective immediately. The Missouri Monsters completed the 2013 season with a 5-5 record.
2014
For the 2014 season, the Monsters changed their name to the St. Louis Attack and played in the X-League Indoor Football. Chris McKinney was named head coach.
After an undefeated regular season, Attack head coach Chris McKinney was named X-League Coach of the Year, and owner Andrew Haines was named Team Owner of the Year. Despite their regular season success, the Attack was defeated in the inaugural championship game 60-48 to the Marine Raiders.
2015
Despite finishing with a 5-3 regular season record and in third place in the X-League, the Attack decided to forego their X-League playoff berth for the X-Bowl to be played between the Florida Tarpons and the Florida Marine Raiders.
2016
On October 14, it was announced that the Attack had been purchased by Free Tickets Entertainment, LLC and would play the 2016 season as a member of American Indoor Football. On October 29, 2015, the franchise officially changed their name to the River City Raiders. Following the season, the AIF announced that it was ceasing operations, leaving the Raiders without a league to play in.
2017
On October 11, 2016, the River City Raiders were listed as members of Champions Indoor Football (CIF) on the 2017 league schedule. In late November 2016, the Raiders were removed from the CIF apparently due to non-payment of league fees. However, their regional opponent, the Chicago Eagles, ceased operations in mid-November after the league schedules had already been made and Raiders claimed they actually left the league due to the adverse effects on their schedule caused by the Eagles departure. On December 29, they announced they had joined the newly created Arena Pro Football for the 2017 season.
