Monday’s WWE Raw television show averaged 1.884 million viewers for USA Network, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. Viewership was up from last week’s 1.459 million average. Raw delivered a 0.65 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from last week’s 0.49 rating.
Powell’s POV: Big numbers for CM Punk’s return combined with Randy Orton’s return, and this episode being the Survivor Series WarGames fallout show. The November 28, 2022 edition of Raw delivered 1.668 million viewers and a 0.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the Survivor Series fallout show.
Not even 2 million are now considered, “Big numbers”?!
Yes, during MNF season and they had a nice bump over the numbers from last week and one year ago. I don’t think they are popping champagne at TKO headquarters, but this are big numbers.
When you gain almost half a MILLION viewers, yes it is a big deal. Punk draws
Raw doesn’t do 2 million anymore
Well, at least it’s pretty unlikely to happen during NFL season.
2 Mil for the opening quarter. Pretty solid for 2023
I miss the days when they would run the biggest segment at the top of the 2nd hour, or even right at 10PM (eastern). Waiting thru 3 hours to see the biggest moment of the night is a lot to ask – and explains why the social media recaps draw so well
Had to read this a few times before clocking Jason’s note is for a Tuesday airing. So Raw runs on Monday and Tuesday in the US?
Do they combine the 1.88 and 1.67 numbers?
Raw airs Monday nights in prime time. I think you are mistaking the 2022 numbers that I always run for comparison purposes, but that was a 1.668 million viewership count.
