The September 22 episode of WWE Raw emanated from Evansville!

The September 22 episode of Monday Night Raw aired live from the Ford Center in Evansville, Indianapolis. The episode served as the fallout show from the Wrestlepalooza PLE and featured the aftermath of what transpired last Saturday.

Following the show, TUDUM by Netflix revealed that the September 22 episode of WWE recorded just 2.3 million global views and 4.5 million global hours watched within its first seven days, marking an all-time low for the show.

That marks a decline from the previous week’s episode, which drew 2.6 million global views and 5.3 million global hours watched. The prior record low for global views was set by the September 1 episode with 2.4 million, while the lowest number of global hours viewed was 4.6 million, recorded for the June 30 episode.

The show for a second week straight had an early start time of 7 PM ET/4 PM PT. The show claimed the eighth spot with a 1:55 runtime, which was slightly less than last week’s 1:58.
