Monday’s episode of WWE RAW saw an expected increase in viewership, landing an average of 4,188,000 people tuning in.
The show started off strong with 4,178,000 viewers (more than any number of the past seven weeks) then grew to 4,342,000 for the second hour.The third and final hour of Raw, which featured Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler in the main event and a poorly advertised collision between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, fell to 4,043,000, the least viewed segments of the night.
Overall RAW was up 6.9% from last week, but down almost 5% from the WrestleMania go-home show in 2014.
Last year’s night-after-WrestleMania episode garnered a staggering (for the time) 5,146,000 viewers, so it will be interesting to see where next week’s show lands, in the wake of one of the weakest-built major PPV’s in company history.
