WWE RAW Viewership Sees Slight Boost For December 18th Episode

WWE brought their last live episode of RAW before they close out 2023, and they are loading up on the Day One episode. The December 18th episode of RAW was quite a live event, and fans tuned in as well.

Ringside News covered this week’s WWE RAW, providing comprehensive details about the episode. It was quite a show, one with a holiday theme.

According to Wrestlenomics, the December 18th episode of WWE RAW brought in 1.562 million viewers, with a .47 in the 18 to 49 demographic. This number was up from the previous week’s number.

This week on RAW, CM Punk was not seen. Seth Rollins certainly addressed him, but the stories had more of a Christmas theme. The Miracle on 34th Street Fight opened the show, and R-Truth beat JD McDonagh. This led to an intriguing Judgment Day storyline, one that may stretch into 2024.

The November 20th episode of WWE RAW attracted 1,459,000 viewers, with a .49 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic. According to Sports Media Watch, the show faced stiff competition from the Eagles vs Chiefs game on Monday Night Football, which emerged as the most-watched Monday Night Football regular season game in 27 years. The football game drew 28.96 million viewers across ABC, ESPN, and the Peyton and Eli “Manningcast” on ESPN2.
