WWE Raw Draws MASSIVE Rating
This week's WWE Raw brought the show's highest viewership in over four years.
With WWE coming off the back of an extremely hot Night 2 of WrestleMania XL, this week's Raw did big numbers across the board.
As per the ever-great Wrestlenomics, Raw averaged 2.36 million viewers and scored 0.83 in the key 18-49 demographic. This represents a 32% increase in viewership from last week's Raw (1.74 million), and a 41% rise in the demo (0.59).
Even more impressive, this is Raw's highest viewership number for over four years, dating back to 17 February 2020, and is the biggest key demo number since 30 September 2019.
Breaking Raw down by each hour, the first hour brought in 2.86 million viewers, the second 2.31 million viewers, and the final hour averaged 1.92 million viewers - all as those second and third hours went head-to-head with the men's college basketball tournament final, which averaged a mammoth 14.8 million and a 3.88 in the key demo.
Raw's lengthy opening segment was the peak of the show's viewership, with the first quarter hour hitting 2.68 million viewers, the second quarter rising to 2.95 million, and the third quarter peaking at a remarkable 3.2 million. That third quarter also reached 1.11 in the 18-49 number.
In other metrics, the Cody Rhodes and Rock segment from Raw is currently at 2.1 million viewers on WWE's YouTube channel.
Whichever way you spin it, this week's Raw was yet another major success story for WWE. Now the challenge is maintaining that momentum as WrestleMania XL and The Rock fade into the rear-view mirror, with Cody Rhodes leading Paul Levesque's new era.
