The go-home episode of Monday Night Raw for WrestleMania 36 was received positively overall from fans watching on the USA Network. The show was still constrained by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but it did manage to produce some excellent promos from Paul Heyman, The Undertaker, Edge, Kevin Owens Becky Lynch along with a fun six-man tag match involving Owens, The Street Profits, Seth Rollins, Angel Garza and Austin Theory. Unfortunately it looks like viewers opted not to tune in as the show (via ShowBuzzDaily) brought in an average of 1.924 million viewers across three hours.
