RAW featured the third match between Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy, the contract signing between Asuka and Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch, and the return of WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. Fans praised the show for being better than recent episodes, but the audience dropped below the December 16, 2019 edition of Raw, which followed the controversial TLC pay-per-view.
The third hour of the show dropped below 2 million for the first time in 2020, and happened much earlier than 2019. RAW went head-to-head against last year's college football game Championship between the Clemson Tigers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. However, last year, RAW brought in more viewers in the third hour than this week's show averaged in the second hour.
- Hour one: 2.609 million
- Hour two: 2.294 million
- Hour three: 2.070 million
