Monday’s WWE Raw television show averaged 1.725 million viewers, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. Viewership was down from the 1.896 million average from last week.
Powell’s POV: A rough week. Worse yet, this was the last week that WWE will be unopposed by Monday Night Football until 2021, assuming the NFL plays a full season. The first hour of Raw averaged 1.762 million viewers. Hour two drew 1.800 million viewers. The final hour of the show averaged 1.613 million viewers. The September 9, 2019 edition of Raw finished with 2.13 million viewers opposite the Monday Night Football doubleheader on ESPN.
At this point I think the two most relevant questions are:
1. When does Raw pull it’s first average viewership under 1.5 million (I believe 1.561 million is the current lowest)?
2. When does Raw post a final hour that’s under 1 million viewers?
It doesn’t feel like an if for either item, just a when.
