Another record low for Raw this week.
According to Showbuzz Daily, the flagship brand averaged less than two million viewers, which turned out to be 1.913 million viewers. This number beats the previous low of the March 30 episode of Raw, which drew 1.924 million viewers.
However, the go-home WrestleMania episode did manage to get an hour with over two million viewers, while none of the three hours on this past week’s episode managed to reach 2.0 million or higher. Not surprisingly, the highest hour of Raw was the first, which featured a promo between WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and United States Champion Andrade, a qualifying match between Asuka and Ruby Riott, and Aleister Black vs. Oney Lorcan. Approxiately 1.994 million viewers watched the first hour.
Across the board, ratings for all professional wrestling is currently down. Both AEW and NXT have been averaging in the range of 500,000 to 650,000 viewers, and Smackdown has seen a bit of a dip as well, though the blue brand has gotten the best ratings out of every brand and promotion.
