Raw 4/30 Viewership Consistent With Last Week
The drop in ratings seems to have leveled off for a week.
After the spike in ratings around WrestleMania 34, the average viewership for Raw and Smackdown has slowly fell. A month ago Raw was hitting 4 million viewers and now they are back down to around 3 million viewers. According to ShowBuzz Daily, the viewership for Raw this week was similar to last week's episode and has not fallen much farther. The following are the average viewership for all three hours of Raw.
Hour 1: 3,184,000 viewers with 1.13 million in the 18-49 year old demographic.
Hour 2: 3,136,000 viewers with 1.08 million in the 18-49 year old demographic.
Hour 3: 2,878,000 viewers with 1.03 million in the 18-49 year old demographic.
The demographic numbers are slightly better this week compared to last week but once again the third hour of Raw dipped below the top five in the rankings. Raw was also competing against the NBA playoffs again.
On YouTube, only two videos have breached 1 million views. Those videos are the segment with Roman Reigns at the beginning of Raw and the resulting six-man tag team match with Reigns, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley facing off with Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. The WWE Intercontinental Championship match is close to 1 million views with over 900 thousands views.
