Seth Rollins' return brings good news for WWE RAW ahead of Netflix move

WWE RAW finally bounced back in the viewership game following Seth Rollins’ return on Monday night. The episode showed massive signs of improvement after some challenges in September.

Monday night’s show had some big matches and segments in store for fans. Many were surprised as The Miz turned heel after teaming with R-Truth to face Authors of Pain in a tag team match.

Meanwhile, Xavier Woods continued to show signs of a heel turn. Sami Zayn was destroyed by Gunther, who finally accepted his World Heavyweight Championship match challenge. Meanwhile, Braun Strowman remained the Last Monster Standing after Seth Rollins returned to knock out Bronson Reed.

WrestleNomics reported that the final episode of September saw an overall viewership increase of 13 percent from 1,339,000 last week to 1,516,000 this week. The number also reports a 2 percent rise compared to the trailing four-week average. The growth also resulted in the red brand faring better this September than last year's.

The 18-49 key demographic also saw a similar gain in overall viewership, representing a positive sign for the RAW brand. Seth Rollins was out of action throughout September and only returned for the final episode of the month.

Last week’s RAW reported the lowest numbers in the show’s history. This week’s show performed much better despite going up against two NFL games. On Monday night, the show ranked in the top ten primetime telecasts for adults in the 18-49 demographic, with the first hour registering a 0.50 rating, while the second and third hours had ratings of 0.49 and 0.45, respectively, as per Programming Insider.

The go-home episode of WWE RAW before WWE Bad Blood has given fans much to look forward to. Triple H and his management will be glad to see the Red brand back on track before the PLE.

Seth Rollins will likely play a major role in WWE during Netflix move

Seth Rollins is arguably the biggest star on RAW. The Visionary’s return earned a great response from fans, cementing that he is still a big draw in the company.

WWE will look to move some big names from SmackDown to the Red brand once the show moves to Netflix in January 2025. Seth Rollins will likely remain on the brand and in the main event scene to entertain fans.

The former World Heavyweight Champion is currently in a rivalry with Bronson Reed. The feud will push Reed on the WWE main roster and hopefully prepare him for a major role on the brand once the show moves to Netflix.
