WWE Raw Audience, Rating Bounce Back Despite Strong Competition on Monday

-- Coming off WWE's Clash at the Castle as well as featuring the payoff of the new Wyatt family angle, Monday's Raw bounced back with a strong audience, averaging 1.747 million viewers off 1.86 million, 1.73 million and 1.65 million. It was the most watched episode of Raw in over two months since the two weeks after WrestleMania 40.

-- The show drew a nightly cable high 0.55 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and both the audience and the rating were up about 10% week-over-week despite far stronger competition. The final game of the NBA playoffs went head-to-head against Raw and drew over 12 million viewers and a 3.65 rating in 18-49. Raw also had to contend with Olympic trials coverage on NBC and a college baseball World Series game on ESPN.
