The notion that Raw would get killed against the first ever MNF playoff game didn't come to fruition. Raw was even in total viewers, up in the demo.
Compared to the previous week, Raw has seen a small decrease in viewers. As the January 7th Raw saw an average viewership of 1.632 million, the drop equates to 1.2%. In regards to key demographic viewership, Raw obtained a 0.43 rating in the 18 to 49 age bracket, which is up from the 0.39 rating from January 7th.
As reported by ShowBuzz Daily, Raw ranked 6th overall for key demographic viewership on Monday night. While the average viewership is down, Raw has seen an increase in 18 – 49 age range. This is especially impressive as WWE faced big competition with the NFL Wildcard game taking place.
Raw continued the build towards the Royal Rumble on January 14th by announcing more entrants into each of the matches.
