WWE has posted a video featuring former NFL Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee, who works the NXT Takeover pre-shows as a panelist and is now under contract with the company, poking some fun at the fans who attended last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

This topic was the poor crowd who attended the show in Lafayette, LA at the Lafayette Cajundome. Throughout the week, people continued to talk about this crowd for being “dead” when it comes to reactions.

In a rare situation, WWE has actually acknowledged the crowd from the show, which you can see here:

It was an interesting show as it focused on NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, and Aleister Black making their debuts on the red brand. It didn’t feature appearances by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon or former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.

Despite this, the viewership for the show didn’t suffer. The flagship show of the company averaged 2.771 million viewers, up from 2.462 million the previous week.

This was the best viewership of 2019 for the red branded show and highest viewed show since the September 3, 2018 Labor Day episode.
