WWE's Post-WrestleMania 32 Raw Rating Is A Disappointment
Down from Mania 31's Raw.
The post-WrestleMania 32Raw drew a disappointing 4.08 million viewers. Thatnumber is significantly down from the 5.35 million who tuned in for last year's post-'Mania Raw.
The show did a comparable number to the Raw after Royal Rumble and on the more positive side, it was only the second show to hit a 4million average since last June.
The three hours were -
8 p.m. 4.29 million viewers9 p.m. 4.18 million viewers10 p.m. 3.82 million viewers
Grahame's Take
This isn't good news for WWE, but what did they expect?
After a near five hour WrestleMania, fans were probably burned out. Sunday was a near seven hour investment of time if you watched the pre show, and there was also the hours of content with NXT and the Hall Of Fame on Friday and Saturday. A three hour Raw on top of that? It was clearly too much for some fans.
The lack of a great increase is also down to how bad WrestleMania 32 was. The audience grew 1.2 million from the Mania 31 go home Raw to the Mania 31 post Raw. But this year the growth from the Mania 32 go home to the Dallas Raw was just 318,000. That's why the rating has to be so disappointing to WWE.
If you did skip watching it, you didn't miss much. Read about why the Dallas Raw sucked here.
