Monday’s WWE Raw television show averaged 2.685 million viewers, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. Viewership was down from the 2.813 million average from last week.
Powell’s POV: The first hour of Raw averaged 2.876 million viewers. Hour two drew 2.608 million viewers. The final hour of the show averaged 2.570 million viewers. A rough week for Raw despite WWE advertising Braun Strowman vs. Kane and three matches involving The Shield members. The Monday Night Football game delivered 11.782 million viewers for ESPN.
It’s not surprising, I know wwe usually doesn’t do the best numbers around this time of year, but this is still a reflection of product. I’ve found myself more and mor disenchanted with wwe every week. I think the reality of Roman is apparent with fans, like myself, and some are choosing to tune out. I’m sure the royal rumble will pick business up again, but this product is so mediocre with the stars they choose to feature on top.
