The numbers for the post-WrestleMania episode of Monday Night Raw are in.
According to Showbuzz Daily (h/t Marc Middleton of WrestlingInc.com), the latest edition of Raw averaged 2.026 million viewers, good enough for the second best viewership of 2021.
This trails only the Jan. 4 "Legends Night" episode that reached 2.128 million viewers. The viewership for this week's episode also marked a substantial increase from the previous two shows that both drew 1.701 million viewers, the lowest of 2021 so far.
The post-WrestleMania episode peaked in the first hour with 2.125 million viewers, per Middleton.
Along with the aforementioned Legends Night special, this is only the second episode of 2021 to have reached over two million viewers.
The show didn't lack in action, either. Lashley followed up his successful WWE Championship defense at WrestleMania by defeating former United States Champion Riddle.
In the main event, Drew McIntyre defeated Randy Orton and Braun Strowman in a triple threat match to earn a WWE Championship rematch against Lashley at the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view on May 16. Right after the match, McIntyre was attacked by Mace and T-Bar.
Charlotte Flair and The Viking Raiders also returned to television following hiatuses.

In a promo, The Queen complained about not appearing on the WrestleMania card, and she later interfered in the Raw Women's Championship rematch between Asuka and Rhea Rhipley.
Ivar had been sidelined since September after undergoing neck surgery, keeping The Viking Raiders off of television for the next seven months. They returned together and defeated Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander in a tag team match.
