Amongst this impressive P2+ viewership were around 908,000 consumers aged 18 to 49, making for a P18-49 rating of 0.70. As a result, Raw Is XXX was comfortably the highest-rated original cable telecast on the night, outdoing its closest competition, a college basketball game hitting 0.36 on ESPN, by almost double.
More impressively, Showbuzz Daily reports that Raw was number one across all of television on Monday, topping the cable and broadcast primetime charts.
