The October 8 Monday Night RAW at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia drew a legitimate sellout, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The sellout had been building in the hours leading up to the show. Per WrestleTix, 8,663 tickets had been distributed with only 138 remaining in the 8,801-seat configuration WWE used for the event. A total of 638 tickets moved on that day alone.
The late surge was even more striking when measured against Sunday’s numbers. At that point, just 6,944 tickets had been distributed, meaning roughly 1,700 moved between Sunday and showtime.

1:49 PM · Aug 14, 2026The figure also represents a significant jump over WWE‘s previous RAW in Norfolk. In September 2023, the show drew 7,447 fans to the same Scope Arena. WWE returned to the building with SmackDown in September 2025 and hit 8,700 tickets distributed.
It’s worth noting that the sellout applies to WWE’s wrestling configuration. The Scope Arena can hold approximately 13,800 in other setups, but the layout used for RAW made fewer than 9,000 seats available.
The show also marked the first RAW held in Norfolk in nearly three years and featured Penta vs. Laredo Kid, along with appearances by Becky Lynch and Stephanie Vaquer.
