WWE Raw Viewership Down, Big Drop In Third Hour For Charlotte “Apology” Segment
Monday's WWE RAW, which featured a main event segment with Charlotte Flair "apologizing" to her Hall of Fame father Ric Flair, drew 2.976 million viewers, according to Show Buzz Daily. This is down from last week's 3.110 million viewers for an episode that featured a Main Event of Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte in a Falls Count Anywhere Women's Championship match.
For last night's episode, the first hour drew 3.153 million viewers, the second hour drew 2.981 million viewers and the final hour drew 2.796 million viewers.
RAW ranked #3 on cable for the night in viewership, behind only the NFL's Monday Night Football and The O'Reilly Factor. RAW was #4 in the 18-49 demographic, behind the NFL, Street Outlaws and Love & Hip-Hop.
The NFL drew 8 million viewers on ESPN Monday night for a game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets. The game was never in doubt, a blowout victory for Indianapolis, but viewers still didn't stray to WWE.
