Monday’s edition of WWE RAW averaged 2.127 million viewers, which is up from 2.058 million viewers the previous week.
Here is the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:

- Hour 2: 2.211 million – Last Week: 2.063
- Hour 3: 1.925 million – Last Week: 1.753
The episode was expected to increase in viewership from last week due to it serving as the go-home show for the RAW brand heading into Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view event.

For comparison, the same RAW episode last year drew 2.761 million viewers for hour one, 2.446 in the second hour, and 2.142 in the third hour.
The biggest competition that WWE RAW faced came in the way of an NFL regular-season game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers that aired on ESPN did 12.567 million viewers.
Some of the matches that took place include Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair vs. The IIconics, Seth Rollins vs. Andrade, Buddy Murphy vs. Akira Tozawa, Drew McIntyre vs. Kevin Owens, Asuka vs. Natalya, and Randy Orton & Ricochet vs. The Viking Raiders.
The show also featured a segment with Paul Heyman where he revealed a stipulation for Brock Lesnar vs. Rey Mysterio.
