WWE Raw, Monday on USA Network, which was a taped “Best of” show, was watched by 1,075,000 viewers on average, including about 352,000 aged 18 to 49, for a 0.27 P18-49 rating.
A low rating was expected given the nature of the show. This is the lowest total and P18-49 viewership in the show’s history.
Raw still ranked typically, at #8 among cable originals in P18-49, according to Showbuzz Daily.

Monday Night Football on ESPN had 10.9 million viewers and a 3.01 P18-49 rating.
The third hour of Raw averaged less than 1 million viewers, with 852,000.
The first hour had an especially strong tune-out rate. The second hour was 22% lower than the first in total viewership. Probably not surprising given it wasn’t a new episode of the show, viewership was down 36% from the average of the first hour to the third, which is the strongest tune-out rate since three-hour became the regular duration in 2012.
Compared to last week, Raw was down 37% in total viewership. Among viewers 18 to 49, viewership was down 37% from last week’s 562,000.
