WWE Raw XXX POPS Big-Time Rating


WWE went XXX on Monday and the ratings reflected that. They pulled in a strong viewership, getting the most viewers in almost 3 years. WWE did 2.34 million viewers for the 30th Anniversary of Raw. Thanks to the advertised returns of many WWE legends, as well as there not being a Monday Night Football game, WWE popped their biggest rating since before the Covid lockdowns.




The first hour was touted as one of the greatest in Raw’s history. From the Trial of Sami Zayn to American Badass Undertaker returning, it was really fun. Throw in an excellent Tag Team Championship match and you had some great TV.


In addition to Undertaker’s return, the episode also featured appearances by WWE legend like D-Generation-X, Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle, as well as some other entertaining matches and segments through the show.





WWE has to be more than thrilled with the rating. Raw ratings usually go up around Wrestlemania season, which is kind of like the playoffs for WWE. While we didn’t get The Rock, it was awesome to see American Badass Undertaker, complete with the Kid Rock theme song. 


With WrestleMania just around the corner and a number of other high-profile events on the horizon, fans can expect more thrilling moments and unforgettable matches from WWE in the coming months. Including maybe Stone Cold Steve Austin returning?

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

  John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair.  Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody.  If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent.  Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him.  Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
