WWE Raw numbers fell into what would be a more normal pattern last night after the huge high levels from Raw's 30th anniversary and the episode after the Royal Rumble.

Last night's show averaged 1.87 million viewers and drew a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demo.

This is likely what would be expected for the next few months barring a special episode or competition from a major sports event.

Raw was first on cable by a wide margin. It also beat ABC in the third hour, beat CBS after 8:30 p.m., beat NBC in the third hour, and beat Fox all night. Overall, the USA Network was the highest rated station in prime time.

Among cable shows, Raw swept the key demos, winning women 18-49, men 18-49, overall 18-34, women 12-34, and men 12-34.

Raw was 11th in total viewers, trailing only news shows.

The closest competition was a Texas vs. Kansas college basketball game on ESPN that did 1.33 million/0.37. The earlier Duke vs. Miami game did 916,000/0.27. Below Deck on Bravo did 1.15 million/0.29.

The audience was down 12 percent from last week's Raw after the Royal Rumble in viewers, down 13 percent in 18-49, and down 22 percent in 18-34.

A comparison with last year is misleading because last year's show was on Syfy and head-to-head with the Olympics, but Raw was up 36 percent in viewers, up 53 percent in 18-49, and up 46 percent in 18-34.

The first-to-third hour declines were 16 percent with women 18-49, three percent with men 18-49, eight percent with women 12-34, there was a three percent rise in men 12-34, and an 11 percent drop with people over 50.

The three hours were:

  • 8 p.m. 1.97 million viewers
  • 9 p.m. 1.88 million viewers
  • 10 p.m. 1.75 million viewers

Bit more normal as expected but still very strong. With it being the go-home show next week I'd expect it to stay consistent or increase again.

LOL, great reply. The gimmick could be fun with Chelsea, really not sure how much heat it will generate but guess time will tell.
