Raw bounced back Monday night to usual levels with 1.82 million viewers and a 0.56 rating in 18-49.

The numbers were a huge increase from last week when the show went against the final game of the NBA playoffs.

Raw was first on all of television in 18-49 and 18-34, and won every key demo on cable. It was ninth in total viewers behind seven news shows and the Louisiana State vs. Wake Forest game in the college baseball World Series which did 2.02 million viewers and a 0.45 and was second on all of television behind Raw for the night.

It was Raw's best 18-49 number in five weeks.

The show was up 14 percent in viewers from last week, up 22 percent in 18-49, but down three percent in 18-34.

From one year ago, Raw was actually down eight percent in viewers, but it was up three percent in 18-49 and up nine percent in 18-34. Factoring in the difference in homes with cable, the real percentage of viewers available was down three percent, but up nine percent in 18-49 and up 15 percent in 18-34.

The first-to-third hour drops were mild: five percent with women 18-49, five percent with men 18-49, five percent with men 12-34, and the only significant drops (which is why third hour viewers were down) were 14 percent with women 12-34 and 13 percent with people over 50.

The third hour was built around Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn vs. Dominik Mysterio, Damian Priest & Finn Balor.

The three hours were:
  • 8 p.m. 1.89 million viewers
  • 9 p.m. 1.90 million viewers
  • 10 p.m. 1.68 million viewers

How has WWE ratings decreased so drastically in the last 5 years. There was a time when it was in the 2.0s if I'm not mistaken
