RAW Viewership
Here is the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:
- Hour 1: 2.548 million – Last Week: 2.218
- Hour 2: 2.492 million – Last Week: 2.059
- Hour 3: 2.101 million – Last Week: 1.814
The episode was expected to increase in its viewership from last week. The reason for that is due to the lack of competition it faced as well as it serving as the go-home show for RAW heading into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event this Sunday.

- Hour 1: 0.90 – Last Week: 0.66
- Hour 2: 0.87 – Last Week: 0.61
- Hour 3: 0.73 – Last Week: 0.56
Some of the matches that took place include United States Champion Andrade (w/Zelina Vega) defeats Rey Mysterio in a ladder match, Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton, Becky Lynch defeats Kairi Sane in a non-title match, Buddy Murphy & Seth Rollins (w/Akam & Rezar) defeat The Viking Raiders for the RAW Tag Team Titles, Erick Rowan defeats Matt Hardy, and Bobby Lashley & Lana defeat Liv Morgan & Rusev in the headliner.
There was also a segment with Paul Heyman and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar
WWE will attempt to increase its viewership for RAW next week, which shouldn’t be an issue due to no sports competition that the show will face compared to last week with the NCAA National Football Championship game on ESPN that was drew big ratings.
