WWE Raw viewership down slightly, 18-49 demo rating rises
Raw last night averaged 1.81 million viewers, a number slightly down from last week, but it was a younger audience. Last week’s show was likely hurt with younger viewers due to being on July 3.
The episode drew a 0.56 rating in 18-49 and a 0.38 in 18-34.
There were no major takeaways past the Judgment Day vs. Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens match held the third hour up well. Competition numbers are not available at press time past Raw beat every English-language network TV show in 18-49.
The peak in 18-49 was for the Logan Paul segment with Ricochet and overall audience peak was for Becky Lynch vs. Zoey Stark.
The total audience was down one percent from last week, but 18-49 was up 15 percent and 18-34 was up 11 percent.
From one year ago, Raw was up six percent in viewers, up 26 percent in 18-49, and up 22 percent in 18-34. Factoring in the homes lost over the past year, the real ratings percentage gains would be 12 percent in viewers, 38 percent in 18-49, and 34 percent in 18-34.
The three hours were:
- 8 p.m. 1.85 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 1.87 million viewers
- 10 p.m. 1.71 million viewers
