The 12/15 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw finished with an average of 3,522,000 viewers following this weekend’s WWE TLC pay-per-view. The numbers are down almost 5% from last week’s go-home show, and represent a rare occurrence where the viewership actually fell coming out of a pay-per-view.
The first hour started with 3,703,000 viewers and dropped to just 3,477,000 in the second hour. The third and final hour saw only 3,385,000 people tuned in, which is the lowest segment since the Christmas episode in 2012. Overall, this week’s WWE Raw viewership was the lowest score in 2014, and is expected to drop yet again next week with the holidays in full effect.
Just for added perspective, Monday’s show was down 12.3% from last year’s WWE TLC fallout episode on 12/15. WWE was obviously hoping for a lot more from Raw this week, as World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar was being advertised to appear, and Roman Reigns was expected to make his return to action as well. The main event was John Cena vs. Seth Rollins in a Steel Cage.
