WWE Update: RAW's popularity plummets while John Cena stays away from the ring

There is a growing sense that the massive fan base that used to adore RAW is losing interest in the sport. Recent viewership data confirms this slump, with reports suggesting a dramatic decrease in the number of people watching. This Monday's broadcast hit a historic low, drawing in just 2.194 million viewers—the smallest audience the program has ever seen since its inception. This crisis has left the show's organizers desperate to find new ways to regain their audience.

Currently, the show airs in the United States on the USA Network every Monday from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Similarly, SmackDown airs on the same network every Tuesday from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Because RAW is a three-hour marathon, data suggests that while fans are glued to their screens during the first hour, the engagement drops off significantly as the show continues.

Survey organizations have highlighted that very few viewers stick around for the final two to three hours of the broadcast. This week, the decline was even more severe, hitting an all-time low for the latter part of the show. However, with a TLC match scheduled for this coming Sunday, reports suggest that the USA Network management is pinning their hopes on that event to bounce back.

Notably, this week's RAW episode served as the final lead-up to the Sunday TLC match. The network plans to utilize a pay-per-view model for the event to maximize advertising revenue, meaning higher viewership will translate directly into greater profits for the owners. The 'Tables, Ladders, and Chairs' match is expected to be a high-stakes thriller for the Intercontinental Championship between Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin. Meanwhile, regarding superstar John Cena, insiders suggest he is no longer prioritizing WWE. His last appearance was at the Super ShowDown in Melbourne, Australia, back in October. Since WrestleMania 34, Cena has surfaced only a handful of times. When questioned by ESPN, Cena confirmed that his primary focus has shifted toward his film career.
