Despite a slight drop in viewership, the show remains steady in key demographics
WWE RAW continues to demonstrate its popularity, averaging 1.82 million viewers and drawing a 0.57 rating in the 18-49 demographic, along with a robust 0.43 in the 18-34 demographic. While the viewership and 18-49 demographic numbers were similar to the previous week, the 18-34 demographic saw a significant increase, potentially due to the involvement of Logan Paul.
The high point was the show’s second hour, featuring Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn for the NXT North American title. However, a notable drop in the third hour indicated that the Seth Rollins-Finn Balor contract signing did not retain the audience as effectively as most main events.
Compared to last year, the show was up 25 percent in the 18-34 demographic and down only four percent in viewers from the first RAW after Vince McMahon announced his retirement. The audience this year is substantially younger, with a 15 percent gain in the 18-49 demographic and a 31 percent gain in the 18-34 demographic.
