WWE Raw scored itself a nice little viewership rebound for this week's special 3:16 Day episode from an empty Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Per information released by Showbuzz Daily, Raw attracted an average of 2.34 million viewers across its three hours - the show's best overall number since 17 February.

This is an increase of roughly 8% on the previous week and breaks down as follows:-

Hour one: 2.41 million viewers

Hour two: 2.49 million viewers

Hour three: 2.11 million viewers

What's most notable here is that the hour three figure was actually down on the previous week despite 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin's appearance, as pointed out by The Wrap's Tony Maglio.

As far as the key 18-49 demographic goes, Raw took the night's top three spots with an average rating of 0.76. Its overall viewership saw it finish 14th for the night on cable as news stations like CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC attracted strong viewerships as the ongoing global situation continues to develop.

What does this tell us? That the curiosity factor surrounding these Performance Center shows survived beyond SmackDown. Let's see how things go over the next couple of weeks, as the novelty factor wears off.
