WWE Raw ratings slightly up from last week
The Monday, June 6th Raw did 3.24 million viewers, up slightly from last week’s 3.22 million.
Last week had far tougher competition with a monster NBA game, but it was helped by being John Cena’s return to the show. This week has the Stanley Cup playoff game (Pittsburgh vs. San Jose) that did 4.23 million viewers on NBC, but The Bachelorette, in the spot of Dancing With The Stars, is doing just over half of what DWTS was doing.
Raw’s second hour was the high point, leading to a big third hour fade of 587,000 viewers. The second hour featured the Cena-A.J. Styles confrontation while the big things pushed in the third hour were Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens and the New Day vs. Club six-man tag match.
The three hours were:
- 8 p.m. 3.37 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 3.49 million viewers
- 10 p.m. 2.90 million viewers
