Raw last night, built around Roman Reigns battling the series for the first time in two years, in two different matches including Reigns vs. Big E vs. Bobby Lashley in an untitled triple threat, averaged 1.79million viewers and made 0.49 ranking in 18-49.
The numbers are up seven percent among viewers and 14 percent among 18-49 year olds from last week, and should be seen as a relief after the shockingly low 18-49 number last week.
The Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions NFL game won the night with 13.76 million viewers between ESPN and ESPN2, and 4.58 in 18-49.
Raw was ranked number six in 18-49 for the night, but that counts the match twice on different channels, so it was really fifth, behind the match, the launch show, the post-match show and the SportsCenter episode after the game. The leading entertainment show, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, scored 0.31 in 18-49.
Raw was eighth for women 18-49, fifth for men 18-49, fifth for 12-34, fifth for women 12-34 and sixth for men 12-34.
News audiences were also high, so Raw was only 18th overall viewers for the day.
Even with Reigns’ promise against Big E against Lashley, the show had the usual pattern with a 10% drop from the first hour to the third hour.
Women aged 18 to 49 were the same at hours one and three, but men fell 14%. Teenage girls increased 32%, teenage boys 8% and over 50 fell 12%.
Compared to the same week a year ago, Raw was up seven percent in viewership, down two percent among 18-49 year olds and up 10 percent among 18-34 year olds.
The three hours were:
- 8 p.m. 1.86 million viewers
- 9 p.m. 1.85 million viewers
- 10 p.m. 1.67 million viewers
