This week’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw ratings is in. According to ShowBuzz Daily, the episode drew an average of 1.605 million viewers on the USA Network, up from the 1.075 million viewers last week.
The 18-49 demo saw the average rating be 0.41, up from the 0.27 rating last week.
Raw rating Monday was 1.60M/0.41. The Hamlin tragedy affected it as there was a big dropoff of viewers as the show went on even though hour three was no longer against the NFL coverage.
