The ratings for this week’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw are in. According to Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics, the episode drew an average of 1.353 million viewers on the USA Network, down from the 1.704 million viewers last week.
The 18-49 demo saw the average rating be 0.40, down from the 0.52 rating last week. This was the second least-watched Raw ever, just behind a best-of episode that aired last December.
Jey Uso & Kevin Owens vs. The Judgment Day (Damian Priest & Finn Balor), Drew McIntyre vs. Xavier Woods, Chelsea Green vs. Shayna Baszler, Alpha Academy (Chad Gable & Otis) & Tommaso Ciampa vs. Imperium (Giovanni Vinci, Gunther & Ludwig Kaiser), and WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez were among the matches featured on the show.
The show went up against Monday Night Football on ESPN and ABC, which drew over 22.6 million viewers. Last year’s MNF opener averaged 19.76 million across the networks. Raw’s ratings were expected to get hammered and did.
The show drew 1.367 million viewers and a 0.38 key demo rating in the first hour followed by 1.401 and a 0.43 in the second hour. The third hour brought 1.292 million viewers and a 0.40 rating.
