Monday’s WWE Raw television show averaged 1.597 million viewers for USA Network, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. Viewership was down from last week’s 1.807 million average. Raw delivered a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from last week’s 0.61 rating.
Powell’s POV: Raw finished third in the key demographic behind a pair of NBA playoff games. It will be interesting to see if the WWE Draft leads to bounce back numbers next week. One year earlier, the April 24, 2023 edition of Raw delivered 1.815 million viewers and a 0.56 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
Lost almost a million viewers in 2 weeks. 5 years ago raw was doing 1.6/1.7m … zero growth. Obviously 1m didnt like what they saw and decided no thanks.
The five years ago numbers don’t mean much because the television landscape has changed so much since then. That’s why I stick to comparing to the previous year.
