The July 17 episode of Monday Night Raw from Atlanta, GA averaged 1.885 million viewers and did a 0.57 rating (P18-49).
In the main event, WWE Undisputed Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens defend their titles against The Judgement Day(Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio).
One of the title matches on the show had Chelsea Green, and Sonya Deville challenge the WWE Women Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan. The match was built for two weeks after Green and Deville won the women's tag team turmoil on the July 3 episode. Before the match, the champions were attacked by Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, and in the storyline, Rodriguez injured her leg. While she was advised not to compete, she decided to defend the titles to avoid getting stripped of them. However, Green and Deville would defeat the weakened team and become the new tag champions.

WWE also made an interesting decision to make the main event with the championships on the line. The company promoted before the show that the match would be a non-title match. However, the match was changed during the episode after Owens accepted The Judgement Day challenge to put the Undisputed Tag Team Championships up for grabs.
It's unclear if the viewership would've been affected if the company promoted the title match in advance. It did lead to an entertaining match that added stakes to the show. At one point, Ripley also tried to interfere, and Morgan came out to ringside to get revenge on the champion, which continued the storyline from earlier. WWE could be looking to have Morgan challenge Ripley for the title, possibly for SummerSlam on Aug. 5.

The company has already promoted several segments and one match for next week's episode. To continue the rivalry between Trish Stratus and Becky Lynch, Stratrus' protege Zoey Stark will take on "The Man" on the July 24 episode of Monday Night Raw. If Lynch wins, she will likely face the WWE Hall of Famer at SummerSlam.
It's expected WWE will announce more matches for the episode, but the segment seems like it may get fans excited. Logan Paul will make his return to confront Ricochet, and Drew McIntyre will have a face-off with WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther. Those two segments will help build toward SummerSlam, as the event is a few weeks away.
