The August 25, 2025 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW wasnt just the go-home show before Clash in Parisit was a full-blown sellout frenzy in the UK.
With a setup of 12,263 seats at the bp pulse LIVE Arena in Birmingham, WrestleTix confirmed that WWE distributed 12,261 tickets just hours before showtime. But what pushed things over the edge was a last-minute update that made all the difference: WWE opened up Section Block 1 earlier in the dayand it vanished just as quickly.
WrestleTix noted the sudden demand in their final update before RAW went live, stating: Section Block 1 opened up earlier today and quickly sold out.
Only two tickets remained available by the time of their update, and that extra 793 bump in ticket distribution since the last count helped bring the venue to near-full capacity. With a mapped total of 13,160 possible seats, its clear WWE left very little on the table when it came to cramming fans into the building.
And WWE gave them plenty to show up for. Roman Reigns opened the show, likely addressing his upcoming clash with Bronson Reed. Nikki Bella laid down a challenge to Becky Lynch. Rhea Ripley threw hands with Roxanne Perez in their third singles clash. And Kofi Kingston went one-on-one with Penta following weeks of friction involving Xavier Woods and a destroyed hat worth $18,000.
Tonights RAW aired live at 3 PM ET on Netflix, kicking off whats shaping up to be a monster week for WWE.
