Report: This Week's WWE RAW Ratings are a Mixed Bag

WWE Monday Night RAW had a rough outing in the ratings department last week, with the 18-49 demo seen dropping to a 0.35 rating; the lowest in the flagship program's more than 25 year history. The episode of Monday Night RAW included Becky Lynch defending her RAW Women's Championship against Liv Morgan in the show's main event.

So how did this week's numbers translate, especially with WWE beginning to ramp up its build-up to Day 1? As the title suggests, a bit of a mixed bag.
