TV News: How did Monday Night Raw fare in the ratings?

Chris Graham

rawSurprise, surprise … this week’s Monday Night Raw was down 5 percent in viewers from last week.

The show, featuring previously announced appearances by WWE legends Hulk Hogan and Undertaker, drew an average of 4.368 million viewers, down from last week’s 4.576 million viewers

Viewership has been consistently falling since the Royal Rumble go-home episode on Jan. 22, which averaged 4.869 viewers.

Viewer numbers have been surprisingly stagnant since the end of the NFL and college football season, when Raw typically faces its toughest programming competition. Raw averaged 4.5 million viewers on Jan. 8 against the national championship college football game.
