With WWE currently on a roll of huge attendances, major TV numbers, and strong merchandise figures - in addition to that ten-year, $5 billion Netflix deal - last night's Raw saw that momentum continue in significant fashion.

Emanating from Chicago's Allstate Arena, this week's Raw had over 15,000 fans in attendance, making it the biggest Raw crowd since the night after WrestleMania 35 back in April 2019.

As per WrestleTix, the Allstate Arena floorplan was being changed less than two hours before Raw in order to make more seats available.

To highlight just how well WWE is performing in terms of attendance figures, the numbers (via Cagematch) for WWE's post-Elimination Chamber shows are as follows:

Whichever way you choose to look at it, there's no denying that those figures are pretty darn impressive. And it's not like Raw and SmackDown were drawing small crowds before Elimination Chamber, but more that the most recent Premium Live Event seemed a logical jumping-off point when comparing recent attendance numbers.
