WWE Raw Sets Record For Lowest Rated Hour In History

This week's episode of WWE Raw featured the lowest-rated hour in the show's history, with Vince McMahon's former flagship suffering a more pronounced third-hour slump than usual.

A. total of 1.549 million viewers watched Raw across its three hours on 8 November. Here's how that breaks down:-

Hour one: 1.654 million viewers

Hour two: 1.621 million viewers

Hour three: 1.373 million viewers

That third-hour number ties the same slot on Raw's 5 July 2021 episode for the lowest in the brand's history when it comes to total viewership. As far as the key 18-49 demographic goes, however, it is the absolute lowest in history, with its 0.34 rating outdoing the previous record of 0.37 on 28 June 2021. This hour was built largely around Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins, which was established in Raw's opening segment.

8 November's 525,000 P18-49 viewers made for a rating of 0.40, which was enough for the episode to finish sixth on the night amongst original cable telecasts. NFL Monday Night Football coverage occupied the top five spots.

This week's P2+ viewership is likely the third lowest in the brand's history, while the P18-49 appears to be the second-lowest in history. This is according to Wrestlenomics, whose records extend as far back as 2011.
