This was the go-home edition of Raw for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. Historically, these types of shows usually get a bump and the belief heading into this show was that it would be more than in recent months due to WWE not having to go up against the NFL on ESPN.
Next week will be more interesting to follow as there is usually intrigue from fans who want to see the fallout from the Royal Rumble.
