WWE RAW’s viewership ratings see a significant spike after Money in the Bank 2020

The last WWE RAW episode before the Money in the Bank PPV created history, but not in a good way. Though the May 4 WWE RAW episode featured several above-average matches and saw the return of AJ Styles, it drew the lowest viewership numbers in Monday Night RAW’s history - 1.68 million. Last week’s WWE RAW broke the record of the December 23, 2018 episode of WWE RAW to become the episode with the lowest viewership ratings. That episode of WWE RAW drew a mere 1.78 million views.
