Last night’s edition of Raw had a few surprises in store for viewers. Despite featuring appearances by John Cena and Logan Paul, the show’s ratings were the third-lowest since the end of football season. Nevertheless, Raw still dominated the cable ratings, pulling in 1.83 million viewers on average, with a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 0.37 in the 18-34 age group.
Interestingly, viewers aged 35-49 were down from the previous week. However, the 18-34 demographic saw a surge in viewership during the third hour, when Cena appeared on the show. This helped to mitigate the usual drop-off in viewers during that hour.
Raw also claimed the top spot in several other categories, including women aged 18-49, men and people aged 18-34, women and men aged 12-34, and men aged 12-34. The show even beat out many programs on network TV, with the exception of The Bachelor on ABC, The Voice on NBC, and 911 on Fox.
Compared to last week, Raw saw a three percent increase in viewers, a two percent increase in the 18-49 demographic, and a six percent increase in the 18-34 age group. Compared to one year ago, the show’s ratings were up by three percent in viewers, 13 percent in the 18-49 demographic, and an impressive 37 percent in the 18-34 age group.
The show’s ratings also saw some significant changes as the night progressed. While women aged 18-49 saw an eight percent drop from the first to the third hour, men aged 12-34 saw an 18 percent increase, likely due to Cena’s appearance. Meanwhile, viewers over 50 were down by 10 percent.
