WWE Raw saw a small ratings boost after its latest episode thanks to Randy Orton and Alexa Bliss

WWE Raw has been reeling behind in the ratings war with SmackDown ruling the roost. The promotion has tried a lot of things in recent months but to no avail.

The short-lived Raw Underground segment has been completely forgotten. WWE even brought in a ton of legends recently, which also led to a slight boost.

This week, the big talking point was Randy Orton making his return after being burned by Alexa Bliss.

Bliss also had a major segment while Drew McIntyre was going to speak despite contracting Covid-19.

There also were some big matches for a place in the Royal Rumble match with Ricochet taking on AJ Styles.

However, the numbers weren’t as high as some might have expected. WWE didn’t have any competition from ESPN regarding the NFL or college football.

Raw has been struggling in the ratings war for a while and this was another rather average outing for the Red brand.
