This week's episode of RAW saw just a slight drop in viewership compared to the previous Monday's effort. That's despite the fact many fans and critics have described this instalment as one of the worst RAW shows of all-time, with a series of baffling creative decisions, tonnes of non-finishes to matches, and a borderline comical Retribution reveal. 

According to Showbuzz Daily, the episode drew an average of 1.667 million viewers on the USA Network. That's only a slight drop from last Monday's 1.689 million viewers. 

This isn't a good number regardless as it was the go-home episode of RAW ahead of Sunday's Clash of Champions PPV. Once again, it was up against Monday Night Football which saw the New Orleans Saints vs. Las Vegas Raiders draw 7.451 million viewers on ESPN and another 7.984 million on ABC.

In terms of hourly viewership, the first hour did 1.746 million viewers, the second did 1.692 million viewers, and the final hour dropped to 1.565 million viewers. In the key 18-49 demographics, RAW did 0.51, 0.50, and 0.48.

At this point, it's clear that RAW only really has a very devoted fanbase who are turning in each week, and it will be interesting seeing where things go from here.
