Raw 5/14 Viewership Up During First Hour Then Falls During Second And Third

Raw viewership is still under three million. 

Last week, Raw dropped below an average of 3 million viewers for all three hours. This week that was also true but the first hour was slightly higher before it dropped for the second and third hour. Last week's first hour had an average of 2.7 million viewers and held there until the third hour where it dropped to 2.5 million. According to Showbuzz Daily, this week started off at 2.9 million viewers but the next two hours were 2.6 million. 

Hour 1: 2,903,000 viewers with 950 thousand in the 18-49 year old demographic. 

Hour 2: 2,692,000 viewers with 870 thousand in the 18-49 year old demographic.

Hour 3: 2,628,000 viewers with 870 thousand in the 18-49 year old demographic.

All three hours underperformed in demographics with the second and third hour dropping in that category compared to last week. Once again, the NBA Playoffs aired during Raw and performed much better. 

On YouTube. the match between Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley and Elias had 1.1 million views. Roman Reigns attacking Jinder Mahal had 1.7 million views. The opening segment of Raw also received nearly 900 thousand views.
