Raw last night averaged 1.82 million viewers and drew a 0.57 rating in 18-49 along with a very strong 0.43 in 18-34.
While the viewers and 18-49 number were similar to last week, the 18-34 number was way up, which could have to do with Logan Paul.
It was the normal summer pattern where the second hour was the high point and the high point being Dominik Mysterio vs. Sami Zayn for the NXT North American title.
There was a pretty significant third hour drop so the Seth Rollins-Finn Balor contract signing didn't keep the audience as well as most main events.
The show was down two percent in viewers from last week, but almost identical in 18-49 and 18-34 was up 25 percent.
From last year, it was down four percent in viewers from the first Raw after Vince McMahon announced his retirement and the number was way up from that time frame, but the audience this year is substantially younger with a 15 percent gain in 18-49 and a 31 percent gain in 18-34. And that's with a marked decline in the number of homes USA Network is in.
The three hours were:
- 8 p.m. 1.87 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 1.91 million viewers
- 10 pm. 1.67 million viewers
