Nia Jax may have been the Hole F'n Show on this week's episode of Raw, as her tremendous butt bump sell felt like the only thing anybody was talking about after the show, but it turns out holes don't draw.

Raw slumped to its lowest ratings of 2021 this past Monday. The show's 18-49 number fell from the previous week's 0.58 to just 0.49, which was still enough to finish first amongst cable shows for the evening.

As far as overall viewership goes, Raw experienced another drop, going from 1.89 million to 1.72 million. Here's how that figure breaks down across Raw's three hours:-

Hour three: 1.59 million viewers

Compared to this week last year, Raw was down 27% in overall viewership and 39% in P18-49. The show's only significant competition was a college basketball game drawing 630,000 viewers on ESPN (0.17 in P18-49).

All in all, Raw's overall viewership hasn't been this low since 21 December 2020, and the 18-49 rating since the week prior, when it slumped to 0.41.

Perhaps we'll see an increase next week, as viewers return in droves to find out what happens next with Nia Jax's hole?
