Ratings For RAW Plummeted On Monday Thanks To Strong Competition From The NBA

As expected, this Monday's episode of RAW did not fare well in terms of ratings because a combination of Memorial Day and strong competition resulted in a massive drop for the company's flagship show.

They were delayed but the numbers for this Monday's episode of RAW are finally in and it's not good news for WWE. In total, the show drew 2,494,000 viewers. That's a considerable drop from last week's 2,668,000 viewers but it was to be expected due to a combination of Memorial Day and the fact the show was unlucky enough to be up against Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference Finals.

Hour one drew 2,593,000 viewers, hour two drew 2,591,000 viewers, and the final hour of the show averaged 2,300,000 viewers. Aside from them being so low, those numbers aren't all that bad in terms of how many viewers the show dropped on an hourly basis. Throw in the fact that most of RAW clearly had very little effort put into it and it's a miracle that the flagship show did even this good.

It's worth noting that this was actually the second-lowest viewed 
episode of RAW ever with the lowest one being on September 26th, 2016 when the show managed to get only 2.478 million viewers.
