WWE RAW Viewership Declines For Elimination Chamber Go-Home Show

Monday’s edition of WWE RAW from in Lafayette, LA at the Lafayette Cajundome averaged 2.462 million viewers, down from 2.510 million the previous week. Here is the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:

• 8 pm – 2.689 million
• 9 pm – 2.445 million
• 10 pm – 2.252 million

The episode was expected to increase in viewership as this was the go-home show for the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event of the red brand but that wasn’t the case. This episode finished fifth for the night in total viewers on cable. For a comparison, the show pulled in 3.105 viewers last year for this same episode, which is down 20%.

Some of the matches that took place include Nia Jax & Tamina vs. The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection (Bayley & Sasha Banks) and The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan), Finn Balor vs. Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor & Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley & Drew McIntyre, Dean Ambrose vs.EC3, and The Revival (Dash Wilder & Scott Dawson) defeat Bobby Roode & Chad Gable to win the RAW Tag Team Titles. There was also an opening segment with Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Becky Lynch.

WWE hyped the Elimination Chamber PPV and the matches taking place at that show. WWE will attempt to keep up this momentum with its viewership for RAW next week.
