RAW ratings plummetted earlier this year but with stronger storylines and SummerSlam just a couple of weeks away, things are finally looking up for WWE. This week's show was headlined by a Last Man Standing match featuring Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman and that helped push viewership up to 3.23 million viewers in total.
That's a decent increase over last week's still very good 3.16 million and is a good sign with just one more RAW to go until the biggest party of the summer. The first hour did 3.26 million viewers, the second got 3.31 million, and the third managed to stay over the three million mark with a surprisingly solid 3.14 million viewers.
WWE will have to do a lot to keep the interest up going into next week's RAW and it will be interesting to see how the PPV plays out and whether that will be enough to keep this newfound momentum going after the event. With rumours swirling that Brock Lesnar is going to drop the Universal Championship, that could be enough to do it...
