The 25th anniversary of Raw emanated from The Manhattan Center and Barclays Center in New York. However, it is at The Manhatten Center that the fans voiced their opinion on what they thought about the show. Multiple reports from Twitter indicate that the Manhattan Center's audience turned sour on RAW's 25th Anniversary.

There wasn't much action at The Manhattan Center. This caused the crowd to become dead, with fans chanting "bullsh*t" and "we want refunds."There were two cruiserweight matches that took place at the historic venue and were not shown on television. When the second match ended in a no contest, the crowd finally lost their patience. Reports indicate some of the fans calmed down after the Woken Matt vs. Bray Wyatt match, but they were not happy about watching most of the action on a giant screen. It is unfortunate that The WWE ignored their old historic venue. For over two hours of Raw, only around ten minutes was at The Manhattan Center.
