WWE RAW Ratings Jump On Royal Rumble Buzz, WrestleMania Hype

With no more football competition and WrestleMania season finally underway, WWE finally got some good news in the ratings for its Monday Night RAW program.

Monday’s episode delivered a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating and 5.2 million viewers, up substantially from the prior week’s already-improved 1.7 rating.

According to USA Network’s research Twitter, the adults 18-49 performance is the weekly program’s best since the post-WrestleMania 27 show last year.

The one down note is the fact that RAW, again, fell from hour one to hour two (5.3 million viewers at 9PM, 5.1 million for the second hour). Though the post-Royal Rumble buzz likely skewed the situation with an inflated audience at show’s onset, it is still not ideal when the show fails to maintain its audience over the course of the broadcast.
