In the United States specifically, the inaugural event averaged 2.6 million households, according to VideoAmp. That's an increase of 116% over RAW’s average 2024 U.S. audience.

Monday marked the largest audience for a Raw broadcast over the past five years and more than doubled the all important 18-49 target audience compared to last year.

RAW on Netflix sold-out the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles and set a company record as the highest-grossing arena event in company history. Additionally, the event set a merchandise sales record, becoming the highest-grossing non-Premium Live Event of all time.
