Monday’s edition of WWE Raw averaged 1.691 million viewers with a 0.53 rating in the Adults 18-49 demographic. Last week’s show, which was a record low audience in the history of Monday Night Raw, did 1.526 million viewers with a 0.41 rating.

Here’s the hourly viewership breakdown for Monday night, which was the final episode before Sunday’s WWE TLC pay-per-view:


The first hour hour did 1.841 million viewers and a 0.53 rating (A18-49)
The second hour did 1.701 million viewers and a 0.55 rating
The final hour of the show had just 1.531 million viewers and a 0.51 rating

Monday’s Raw featured the fallout from the TLC pay-per-view event. It did go up against an NFL game on ESPN, which did 12.721 million viewers, but Raw was expected to be up due to the trend of post-PPV editions of the weekly TV series getting a bump.

It was reported last week that the USA Network was disappointed with the decline of WWE’s TV ratings. WWE has already confirmed that they will be holding Raw Legends Night next month, which is likely a way to help give the show a boost to start off the year.

SmackDown Viewership

Friday’s SmackDown averaged 1.030 million viewers on FS1. This is down from the 2.206 million viewers that the show did for the previous week on FOX.

There was no overnight rating nor a breakdown of the hours. SmackDown pulled in a 0.30 rating in the 18-49 demos, down from 0.55 rating as last week’s show.
