WWE Raw ratings bounce up with no Home Run Derby competition

Raw last night did 1.79 million viewers with an 0.59 in 18-49, bouncing back from last week’s number that was hurt by the Home Run Derby.

Full chart placements and competition shows are not available.

The show was built around the finalization of Drew McIntyre vs. C.M. Punk as a SummerSlam match as well as a several segment storyline with Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley. The main event saw Jey Uso & Sami Zayn win a non-title match over tag champs Finn Balor & JD McDonagh.

It was up six percent in viewers and six percent in 18-49 from last week, which is about how much one would expect Home Run Derby to cost the show.

It was down one percent in viewers but up two percent in 18-49 from last year, but that doesn’t factor in the loss of cable homes and viewers so the realistic percentage ratings drop would be up five percent in viewers and up 14 percent in 18-49, once again showing the pattern of down over 50 and up over 50 that Raw has had over the past year.
