WWE Raw Viewership Climbs to Nearly Six-Month High For Royal Rumble Fallout


-- Last night's WWE Monday Night Raw was up big in overnight viewership figures that were released today, generating an average audience of 1.864 million - a 15% increase week-over-week. It's the best audience for Raw since the night after SummerSlam, outdrawing even the episode featuring the annual draft. Of course, this was to be expected with the fallout from the Royal Rumble, plus advertised appearances from Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey.

-- In the 18-49 demographic, Raw finished first on the cable charts with a 0.47 rating, a two-month high. It easily beat everything else on cable and the only sports competition was a college basketball game that fell short of a million viewers. Hours for Raw are below:

  • Hour 1 - 2.083 million
  • Hour 2 - 1.879 million
  • Hour 3 - 1.633 million
