A Steady Week for WWE’s Flagship Show
This week’s edition of WWE Raw, which aired on March 30, 2026, saw the show maintain its steady viewership numbers despite featuring a stacked lineup of big-name stars. The show averaged 1.83 million viewers, down slightly from the previous week’s 1.87 million viewers. However, the decrease in viewership does not seem to be a cause for concern for WWE officials, as Raw has consistently remained one of the top-rated shows on cable television.
A Lackluster Main Event Falls Flat
One of the main reasons for the slight decrease in viewership could be attributed to the lackluster main event, which saw Cody Rhodes take on Finn Bálor. The match, which was heavily hyped in the lead-up to the show, failed to deliver in terms of excitement and drama. Sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that he was not entirely pleased with the direction of the match and felt that it did not showcase his skills to the fullest potential.
“I think we all knew going into the match that it was going to be a tough sell,” said the source. “Finn is a great wrestler, but the storyline just didn’t have the legs to make it a compelling watch. Cody was frustrated, but he’s a pro and he made the best of it.”
Roman Reigns and CM Punk Steal the Show
Despite the lackluster main event, Roman Reigns and CM Punk stole the show with their intense segment. The two superstars, who have been at odds for weeks, engaged in a heated confrontation that left fans on the edge of their seats. The segment was a masterclass in storytelling and had many fans speculating about a potential match between the two in the near future.
“I think it’s safe to say that the segment between Roman and CM Punk was the highlight of the night,” said a WWE insider. “Those two guys just have a way of bringing out the best in each other. The tension between them is palpable and it’s clear that they’re both very invested in their feud.”
Other Notable Moments from the Show
Other notable moments from the show included:
- Seth Rollins’ promo, which saw him claim that he’s the “best in the world” and that he’s going to prove it to the world by defeating the WWE Champion at WrestleMania.
- The return of the Hardy Boyz, who made a surprise appearance and attacked their former rival, Randy Orton.
- The ongoing feud between Alexa Bliss and Naomi, which saw Bliss attack Naomi after their match.
What’s Next for WWE Raw
With only a few weeks to go until WrestleMania, WWE Raw is gearing up for a big push. Expect to see more intense match-ups and storylines in the coming weeks as the shows build towards the biggest event of the year.
In the meantime, fans will be eagerly anticipating the next episode of Raw, which airs next Monday night on USA Network. Will the show continue to deliver on its promises, or will it falter? Only time will tell.
Final Thoughts
While this week’s episode of Raw may not have been the most exciting, it’s clear that WWE still has a lot of tricks up its sleeve. With Roman Reigns and CM Punk on a collision course and the Hardy Boyz back in action, there’s no telling what’s in store for fans in the coming weeks. One thing is for sure, though: WWE Raw is going to be must-watch TV until WrestleMania.
