-- As posted already, Monday's episode of WWE Raw was generally a success in overnight viewership figures with the show climbing to 1.857 million viewers - almost a 10% week-over-week increase. In the 18-49 demographic, Raw scored a 0.52 rating - also close to a 10% increase from last week. Compared to last year's draft show, Raw was up marginally in viewership (1.854 million) but down in P18-49 (0.57). The biggest competition on Monday was of course NFL Monday Night Football which was watched by 12.862 million across ESPN and ESPN2 and a 3.97 in the 18-49 demo and of note is that the football game was delayed by over half an hour, which means Raw ran unopposed during that time. Raw's hourly audience is below:
- Hour 1 - 1.949 million
- Hour 2 - 1.902 million
- Hour 3 - 1.721 million
