Post-WrestleMania Raw Ratings Rebound

Post-WrestleMania Raw Ratings Rebound

While still not exactly where Raw wants to be, Raw’s viewership rebounded from previous weeks. This week’s show pulled in 2.1 million viewers.

This is up 19% from last week. Even with people stuck at home and nothing to do, people still aren’t tuning in to watch wrestling when there aren’t any crowds.

The show still had a significant drop from hour 1 to hour 3.  It went from 2.3 million to 1.93 million. This is a 17% drop, but much less than the last two weeks.

One major difference between last night’s show and the previous weeks was that WWE did not air a historical match in its entirety. Instead, it was all new content mixed with highlights from Mania.

I think that kept viewers along with the teaser of the post WrestleMania angle hyped as must-see. It turned out it was The Big Show returning to challenge Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.

The other highlights of the show featured a Raw debut for Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews getting traded. I mean why wouldn’t you watch to see Apollo Crews.

It will be very interesting to see what happens when Raw is able to go live again.
