Monday’s episode of WWE RAW did 3,271 million viewers, which is up from the 2,907 million viewers the show did last week. Hour one averaged 3,519 million viewers, hour two drew 3,221 million viewers, and the final hour of the show averaged 3,074 million viewers.
RAW ranked #3 in the top 150 shows on cable for Monday night. The show had to go up against the rematch from last year’s NBA Finals between Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State that drew 4,518 million viewers on TNT. Now that the NFL’s regular season is over, WWE will not have to go up against Monday Night Football, which draws big viewership numbers, and that should boost RAW viewership. Brock Lesnar appeared on the show to promote the Royal Rumble PPV event, which also helped RAW’s viewership.
Here are the viewership numbers for RAW in 2017:
1/2/17: 3,047,000
1/9/17: 2,907,000
1/16/17: 3,271,000
