WWE promoted big attractions for this week’s RAW and SmackDown Live shows, but the events did not draw the attendance the company was hoping for.
Monday’s RAW from Anaheim, California featured the first-ever John Cena vs. Braun Strowman singles match, the latest verbal altercation between Cena and Roman Reigns and an appearance from Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. The show drew just 7,000 fans. Â (via f4wonline.com)

Tuesday’s Smackdown Live from Las Vegas drew an even smaller audience. Despite the advertised return of Mr. McMahon, three title matches and the finals of the Mae Young Classic, the Thomas and Mack Center had only only 4000 paid fans.
