Hey everyone and welcome to week 2 of the Wrestling Ratings Report!
WWE was probably not super happy about the ratings for the go-home edition of Raw, but next week should be WAY higher.
Here are the updates for this week!
WWE Monday Night Raw
Monday’s edition of WWE Monday Night Raw scored a 2.66 rating, which is up from the 2.44 rating the show drew last week. The show also averaged 3.770 million viewers, which is up from the 3.399 million average from last week. While the viewership was up 371,000, the drop in hour three (with the final Triple H vs. Roman Reigns confrontation) is not good.
* Hour One: 3.823 million viewers
* Hour Two: 3.852 million viewers
* Hour Three: 3.637 million viewers
