WWE RAW Rating Holds Steady, Viewership Improves as The Undertaker Appears

Buzz about The Undertaker’s match was not enough to drive a colossal rating for Monday’s edition of WWE RAW, but it did help the show build on last week’s soft viewership total.

The three-hour UK edition of RAW matched last week’s 1.6 adults 18-49 rating but drew an improved 4.40 million viewers.

With a mere 1.4 rating and 4.19 million viewers, the show opened softly at 8PM but then grew considerably for its peak 9PM hour. That hour averaged a 1.7 and 4.65 million viewers ahead of a 10PM hour that averaged a 1.6 and 4.36 million.

As a three-hour telecast, RAW ranked as the cable’s second-best adults 18-49 performer behind an episode of “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta 2.” Its first hour, however, also trailed “Teen Mom II,” the Clippers-Grizzlies playoff game and “TI & Tiny 3” in the key demographic.
