This past edition of WWE RAW scored an average of 1.472 million viewers on the USA Network, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics. As you can see, the show has even failed to make 1.5 million viewers, this week, making a record. This is also down 6.24% from last week’s 1.570 million viewers.
Thus, this week’s WWE RAW drew the lowest viewership in the show’s history. The previous low was recorded during the December 14, 2020 episode, which drew 1.526 million viewers. As for Key Demo, RAW was tied with last week and the December 14, 2020 show with the lowest 18-49 key demo rating in show history. 6.24% viewership was down from the previous week, while the key demo rating was balanced with last week.

WWE Raw to hit the road, soon
WWE RAW advertised segments and matches ahead of time, this week – MVP’s in-ring return with WWE Champion Bobby Lashley vs. The New Day, Charlotte Flair giving a medical update, Ricochet vs. John Morrison, and a special Money In the Bank edition of Miz TV featuring all the 2021 MITB Ladder Match participants from the red brand. But apparently, that didn’t produce any fruitful outcome when it comes to the viewership.
The final WWE RAW of the ThunderDome era at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida has reportedly been taped on Tuesday, according to John Pollock. This will air next Monday as the go-home show to the Money In The Bank 2021 pay-per-view. WWE will then air the July 19 post-MITB RAW live from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, with fans in attendance.
Hopefully, things will be better for the show, by then. As of now, WWE Raw has announced the following matches for next week’s WWE RAW,
* RAW Tag Team Champion Omos will make his singles debut vs. Erik while his tag partner AJ Styles will face Ivar
* WWE United States Champion Sheamus defends his title against Humberto Carrillo
* John Morrison vs. Ricochet in a Falls Count Anywhere match
* The go-home build for Money In The Bank 2021 PPV
