Monday’s live WWE RAW episode, featuring Alexa Bliss vs. RAW Women’s & WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Asuka in the main event, drew an average of 1.855 million viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.
This is up from last week’s 1.819 million viewers.
For this week’s show, the first hour drew 1.991 million viewers (last week’s hour 1 – 2.024 million), the second hour drew 1.875 million viewers (last week’s hour 2 – 1.802 million) and the final hour drew 1.697 million viewers (last week’s hour 3 – 1.632 million).
This is the first week where RAW had no football competition. Last Monday was dominated by the College Football Championship game, and the NFL regular season wrapped the week before that. It will be interesting to see if RAW viewership increases as it usually does now that there is no weekly football competition.
