— WWE officials were expecting last night’s Raw to be a sellout with it being held in a 6,000 seat arena in Green Bay, however, the show fell short of a capacity crowd.

— Monday’s Raw viewership provided one of the weirdest ratings pattern ever for WWE. The first hour drew an impressive 3.33 million viewers, the second hour dropped to 2.97 million and the third hour fell all the way to 2.56 million. Doing the numbers, that means almost a quarter of the people who initially tuned in were gone by the time the show ended and likely missed Smackdown’s invasion of Raw. However, the Youtube clip of that angle has drawn well over 2 million views, which is a stronger than normal number for a WWE clip.

Hi. I attended Raw last night at the resch center. As is usual in our small
city, a good majority of the seats were tarped off on the camera side, so
I’ll say about 5,000 to 6,000 on attendance. However, I’ve been attending
events here for about 10 years and this was far and away the best, loudest,
and most vocal crowd I’ve been a part of in green bay. I brought my 9 and 11
year old daughters for the first time, and that was their favorite part to
chant along with everyone. So…general observations…

Crowd was hot from the start, very hot for Titus and Apollo, and just short
of a monster pop for Matt Hardy on main event. They saved the monster pop for
who I took very unexpectedly, Mr. Phenomenal AJ Styles. The six man tag match
to start was, I felt, of PPV quality, and kept the crowd going. After Kane
attacked, it was funny watching him just stand in the ring for what seemed
like 10 minutes during the commercial and the video highlights. Crowd was
indifferent for his promo, came alive for Balor’s entrance, and was pretty
let down for the finish. Brief surprise pop for Shane-O-Mac and Angle
backstage segment, and then the crowd was the quietest all night for Asuka
and Emma. Alexa Bliss was amazing at getting us riled up again, and that’s
probably why we were so loud for Elias. He got one of the loudest pops of the
night, and the 180 heat for trashing our beloved aaron and the packers.
Nobody cared about jason Jordan and their match. Back on for again for Lesnar
and the always superb Paul Heyman. I told the kids,”That guy (Lesnar) gets
paid millions to stand there not even every week while some guy yells at the
crowd, but holy hell is it worth it!” As is usual, crowd quieted and the show
dragged in the third hour, with small reaction for the women’s triple threat
and the cruiserweight tag. And if we were loud for Shanes entry with the
smackdown guys through the crowd, our momentum quickly died when the “main
event” was a 10 minutes backstage beat down. No post show dark match. Show
ended just how everyone saw it at home. So, ultimately, I would say this
would be the ONLY negative of the night. I was pleasantly surprised at how
literally entertaining the rest of the night was given how many stars are
hurt or sick. Great job WWE, and great job to you rajah.com!
