Ratings back to normal levels for WWE RAW
WWE Raw last night fell back to the expected normal numbers the week after WrestleMania with 3.52 million viewers.
Last week’s show did 4.08 million viewers, but the day after WrestleMania is usually very strong. The drop would be expected.
The number is along the lines of what the show has been doing since football season ended. Of the 12 previous shows this year that didn’t go against football, last night’s show beat out five of them and was below seven of them.
There was a different ratings pattern as the show started with a low first hour, but had a good second hour before dropping somewhat in the third hour.
Raw was the highest rated show on cable last night, with The O’Reilly Factor on FOX News in second place at 3.04 million viewers.
Dancing With The Stars, which featured UFC’s Paige VanZant, was the most-watched show on television last night with 12.51 million viewers.
The three hours of Raw were:
- 8 p.m. 3.47 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 3.69 million viewers
- 10 p.m. 3.43 million viewers
