WWE RAW Ratings: Highest Viewed Show In Three Weeks

This week's Raw ratings heralded some good news for WWE. The show's overall viewership increased ever so slightly this week, with the November 16 broadcast drawing an average of 3.29 million viewers. This was an increase from last week's show, which drew an average of 3.17 million viewers. The overall trend of viewers leaving throughout the show continued, with the third hour of RAW coming in as the least viewed hour of the show. However, the third hour didn't dip below 3 million viewers this week as it did on November 9. The hourly breakdown of the show was:

First Hour: 3.541 million viewers (3.480 last week) Second Hour: 3.290 million viewers (3.177 last week) Third Hour: 3.047 million viewers (2.863 last week)

Among cable viewers 18-49 on Monday night, RAW was the third most watched show of the night, with Monday Night Football and Love And Hip Hop Hollywood performing better in that coveted demographic. RAW's ratings were almost certainly boosted this week by a strong card, announced in advance, as well as an advertised appearance by The Undertaker. The success of next week's broadcast will largely depend on fan reaction coming out of Sunday's Survivor Series event, a show that will end with the crowning of a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
