Last night’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw was down slightly in the overnight audience figures dropping to 1.884 million viewers, compared to 1.890 million the week prior, which was the day after a PPV. In the 18-49 demographic, Raw was up to a 0.58 rating – the highest in five weeks – and first overall on Monday night among shows on cable. In fact, all three individual hours of Raw snagged spots one to three. There was minimal competition from a sports perspective with only a couple of college basketball games drawing audiences of 827,000 and 855,000 with identical 0.26 ratings. In some good news for WWE, the first to third hour drop was not nearly as pronounced as previous weeks, with the third being the best since last August (discounting Legends Night). The second hour also outdid the first, something that is pretty rare and hasn’t happened since last year as well.
* Hour 1 – 1.916 million
* Hour 2 – 1.918 million
* Hour 3 – 1.817 million
