WWE Raw ratings down for Christmas week episode

Due to the holiday season, ratings were delayed this week and are not complete, however WWE Raw on Monday averaged 1.45 million viewers with a 0.42 rating in 18-49.
All ratings are going to be lower than usual as is almost always the case this week. Aside from shows related to the Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints NFL game, Raw was the highest rated show on television on Monday.
The football game did below usual numbers as well, with 14.50 million viewers and a 3.22 in 18-49 between ESPN, which did 6.4 million viewers and a 1.85, and ABC which did 8.36 million viewers and a 1.37.
Raw was a taped show built around the Sami Zayn vs. Drew McIntyre main event and was the next to the last episode ever on the USA Network.
Raw was fifth on cable behind four ESPN shows related to football.
It was down five percent in viewers and 11 percent in 18-49 from last week, which I’d attribute more to the holiday than anything else.
One year ago the show was a taped best of 2023 episode that did 698,000 viewers and a 0.19 in 18-49.
The two hours were:
- 8 p.m. 1.45 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 1.46 million viewers
