RAW ratings rebounded slightly last Monday after a series of record lows, but there was more bad news for WWE following this week's episode. According to Showbuzz Daily, the episode drew an average of 1.757 million viewers on the USA Network, and that's a drop from last week's 1.920 million viewers.
Hour one did 1.810 million viewers, hour two received 1.811 million viewers, and the final hour dropped to 1.633 million.
Despite the so-called "brand to brand invitational," it seems that did nothing to help RAW, and it's likely last Monday's effort only received a boost because Becky Lynch teased a big announcement (plus, it was the post-Money in the Bank episode). It also featured the return of Randy Orton and Edge for the first time since their Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania.
It seems the norm for RAW now is to draw less than 2 million viewers, and while we initially heard that ratings don't matter during the COVID-19 pandemic, it's hard to imagine people are only tuning out because there are no audiences in the building (if anything, more people should be watching with fewer choices on TV).
We'll be back here next week to bring you the latest numbers for RAW. What did you guys think about this week's show?
