WWE RAW Rating Are Beginning To Climb Again Now That Basketball Season Has Come To An End
WWE's Raw ratings have not been too great the past while, and the red brand was hit particularly hard when it went up against postseason NBA and NHL games. However, things are starting to look up again...
It looks like WWE Raw might be about to climb out of its ratings slump.
The numbers had been in decline since WrestleMania 33, but things got really bad when the company's flagship show went up against postseason NBA and NHL games, and viewership actually dipped close to an all-time low for the red brand. However, as many predicted, things are beginning to look up now that basketball season is behind us.
Here are the latest figures courtesy of Showbiz Daily (via Uproxx):
"Viewership [for this past Monday's Raw] was up massively, to the tune of over a half-million more pairs of eyeballs than last week. The June 12 episode only averaged 2.54 million viewers for three hours, while the June 19 episode pulled in an average of 3.10 million, with the second hour peaking at 3.20 million.
Let's hope this continues as we head towards SummerSlam.
Remember, Braun Strowman is back now, so never underestimate the amount of people that'll be tuning in just to see The Monster among Men murder Roman Reigns repeatedly as the weeks go by.
