Last Monday's show drew 1.57 million viewers.

Thurston reports that the September 13, 1993 episode of Raw was watched by 1.021 million households. "If that episode had fewer than 1.45 viewers per home, it could have had fewer total viewers than Monday's episode," says Thurston.

Monday's episode posted a 0.41 rating (535,000 viewers) in the 18 to 49 demographic, which is the same demographic rating the show posted last week. Thurston notes that it's the third-lowest demographic number in the show's history, topping only the December 14, 2020 show and last week's show.

Thurston provided the following viewership information for Monday's episode:
