With no NBA playoff competition and paced by the first World title match on Raw in nearly two years, the show was up to 1.83 million viewers with a 0.56 rating in 18-49 last night.
Raw impressively beat the Las Vegas Golden Knights vs. Florida Panthers Stanley Cup playoff game on TNT for first place, although the game actually was well ahead of Raw for total viewership and 18-49 viewership. WBD made the decision to air the game on TNT, TBS, and TruTV. It did 1.68 million viewers and a 0.54 on TNT, which was second to Raw for the night. TBS did 535,000/0.18 and TruTV did 235,000 and 0.09, so the total viewers were 2.45 million and the total 18-49 rating was 0.81.
Raw also beat everything on both English and Spanish network TV in 18-49, so USA was first for the night in all of television.
The combined game numbers beat Raw in all the key demos, but as far as the first place show, Raw was ahead of the TNT airing in 18-49 and women 18-49. The game on TNT was first in men 18-49, first in 18-34, first in women 12-34, and first in men 12-34.
Raw was third for the night on cable in total viewers behind only The Five and Rachel Maddow. That's much higher than Raw usually does due to the collapse of Fox News in prime time.
The show was up 13 percent from last week due to the lack of NBA playoff competition in viewers, up six percent in 18-49, and up five percent in 18-34.
From one year ago, Raw was down two percent in viewers, but up seven percent in 18-49 and up 18 percent in 18-34. Factoring in the drop in cable homes over the past year, the real percentage gains were up four percent in viewers, up 14 percent in 18-49, and up 25 percent in 18-34.
The Seth Rollins vs. Damian Priest title match kept the key audience strong in hour three, as instead of first-to-third hour losses, the third hour was up nine percent with women 18-49, up three percent in men 18-49, up five percent with women 12-34, up five percent in men 12-34, and down eight percent with people over 50.
The other leading competition was Florida State vs. Tennessee in the College Softball World Series which did 1.32 million viewers and 0.28.
The three hours for Raw:
