WWE RAW enjoyed a notable increase this week.
Showbuzz Daily reports that 1.793 million viewers watched the show on September 20, an increase from the 1.670 million viewers who watched the show last week.
In the 18 to 49 demographic, the show scored a 0.49 rating, which is significantly up from last week’s 0.43 rating. This rise marks a 7% increase in total viewership and a 15% jump in the demographic, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
With this number, the red brand stopped its trend of three consecutive weeks in which viewership had dropped. NFL Monday Night Football ranked first overall on the night, and WWE RAW ranked seventh.
Raw ranked #7 in 18 to 49 on cable, behind ESPN programming.

The hourly breakdown is as follows:
- Hour One: 1.860 million viewers (0.51 rating in 18 to 49 demographic)
- Hour Two: 1.853 million viewers (0.51 rating in 18 to 49 demographic)
- Hour Three: 1.667 million viewers (0.46 rating in 18 to 49 demographic)
This week’s show featured a star-studded tag team match between The New Day and The Bloodline, which had been announced ahead of time. It’s fair to argue that the announcement of WWE Universal Champon Roman Reigns’ apperance on the show might have drew some additional viewers. In the main event of the program, Reigns defeated Bobby Lashley and WWE Champion Big E.
