WWE Raw ratings drop against strong NFL number

Monday night’s WWE Raw averaged 1.386 million viewers on the USA Network, down 18.9 percent from last week’s post-Survivor Series episode. It’s the lowest audience total for the show since September 23 when Raw was still three hours long.

In the 18-49 demo, Raw was third on cable and fifth on all of television in prime time with a 0.43 rating. That’s down 20.4 percent from last week and is the lowest rating the show has done in that category since October 28.

Monday Night Football viewership was way up from the previous week with the Dallas Cowboys playing. That Cowboys vs. Cincinnati Bengals game averaged more than 17 million viewers between ABC and ESPN and did a 4.06 rating in 18-49. Raw was the top-rated show on television aside from football programming.

The audience was very consistent with hour one drawing 1.385 million viewers and a 0.42 rating in 18-49 and hour two doing 1.386 million viewers and a 0.44.

As compared to the same week in 2023, Raw was down 5.5 percent in overall viewers and 6.5 percent in 18-49.
