Toyota Center Hosts Record-Breaking WWE RAW as Netflix Move Looms

WWE is gearing up for its monumental move to Netflix, but before that, they’re making history with tonight’s episode of Raw at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. Set to be the final two-hour broadcast before returning to the three-hour format, this show is already making waves for its ticket sales.

According to WrestleTix, WWE has distributed an impressive 14,449 tickets for tonight’s event, with just 480 left. This staggering figure makes it the third-largest Raw crowd of 2024, trailing only events in Chicago (March) and Philadelphia (April). What’s more, this marks the biggest WWE crowd the Toyota Center has ever hosted, solidifying Houston’s love for pro wrestling.

The card itself is stacked, promising plenty of action for the fans in attendance. CM Punk and Seth Rollins will share the same roof ahead of their blockbuster clash on Netflix, while the Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament rolls on with Dakota Kai vs. Zoey Stark and IYO SKY vs. Lyra Valkyria. Other matches include Chad Gable vs. Otis, Pete Dunne vs. R-Truth, and a six-man tag featuring Damian Priest & The War Raiders vs. Judgment Day.

Tonight’s Raw isn’t just a show; it’s a piece of WWE history. With a near-sellout crowd and one of the biggest turnouts of the year, Houston is proving why it’s a wrestling hotspot. As WWE says goodbye to USA Network and gears up for its Netflix debut, one thing’s for sure—the energy in the Toyota Center will be unforgettable.
