Monday's WrestleMania 36 go-home edition of WWE RAW, the third red brand show to air from the WWE Performance Center with no crowd, drew an average of 1.924 million viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.

This is down 4% from last week's 2.006 million viewers for the second Performance Center episode. This is also the new second-lowest non-holiday RAW viewership in history, going back to the taped Christmas Week 2019 episode that aired on December 23, drawing 1.835 million viewers.

For this week's show, the first hour drew 2.139 million viewers (last week's hour 1 – 2.289 million), the second hour drew 1.986 million viewers (last week's hour 2 – 2.004 million) and the final hour drew 1.646 million viewers (last week's hour 3 – 1.726 million), a 23% drop from hour one.

This is the lowest third hour viewership of all-time, including holiday episodes.
