Monday’s WWE Raw television show averaged 1.701 million viewers, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. Viewership was down from the 1.861 million average from last week.
Powell’s POV: Raw presumably took a hit due to CBS’s coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament. The first hour of Raw averaged 1.733 million viewers. Hour two drew 1.697 million viewers. The final hour of the show averaged 1.673 million viewers. The three hours of Raw averaged a .56 rating and finished third, second, and first, respectively, in the 18-49 demographic in Monday’s cable ratings. Last week’s show averaged a .53 in the 18-49 demo. The March 30, 2020 edition of Raw delivered 1.924 million viewers for the WrestleMania 36 go-home show.
You go the precious demo rating for the 18 to 49 demogrpahic wrong. WWE RAW AVERAGED A .56 RATING IN THE 18 TO 49 DEMOGRAPHIC. THE .38 WAS IN THE 18 TO 34 DEMOGRAPHIC. THE FACT IS THAT WWE HELD THE TOP THREE SPOTS IN THE category which know it all pain in the wwe’s rectum dave meltzer lives and dies by each week.
FIXED. THANK YOU. BUT WHY ARE WE YELLING? AND WHY ARE YOU OBSESSED WITH DAVE? DID HE HURT YOU?
Remember when WWF/E cared about the ratings and having strong, serious and entertaining shows during Wrestlemania season?
Remember when they had competition that was pushing them to be good?
AEW is a mud show. WWE is so far ahead of aew that it is not even funny. AEW is basically a wwe COPYCAT and a wwe wannabee.
WWE HAS dominated this industry for over 20 years. If tony did not have his billionaire father and his connections at tnt through the former warner media executive kevin orelly, aew would be as irrelevant as impact wrestling, roh, mlw and new japan wrestling as far as being on wwe’s ENEMY radar.
The ratings are FINE. The rpblem is that dirt sheet writers and know it all fans REFUSE to grow up and accept that it is 2021. The attitude era ended 20 years ago. WWE’S ONLY GOAL is to keep their tv partners happy so the relationship can be beneficial for both sides.
Thank goodness we can count on you to enlighten us. I feel blessed.
