WWE Officials Weren’t Surprised By Huge Viewership Drop For RAW This Week

Triple H was given the role as the top person in charge of WWE Creative after Vince McMahon stepped down. Triple H already started to make some huge changes right after that.

This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW show drew a total of 1.709 million viewers, with a 0.44 in the 18-49 demographic. Not only was this episode the first show in three weeks to drew less than 2 million viewers, but it also drew the lowest viewership figure of the ‘Triple H era’ of WWE RAW so far.

According to Fightful’s paywall, some within WWE were expecting the viewership number to be even lower, so they were not surprised. It is to be noted that the show was up against the return of Monday Night Football.

The Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks game drew a total of 19.8 million viewers, and a combined 5.57 million in the 18-49 demo across ESPN, ABC and ESPN2. RAW was eventful as it featured Dakota Kai & Iyo Sky beating Raquel Rodriquez & Aliyah to win the Women’s Tag Team Championship. We’ll have to see what’s next in store for RAW.
