WWE Raw Viewership Hits Lowest Total Since 1993 On 7/5/21

The viewership numbers for WWE Raw have rarely been worse. 

According to Brandon Thurston at Wrestlenomics, WWE Raw on July 5 drew 1.472 million viewers. 

Last Monday’s show drew 1.57 million viewers. 

Thurston reports that the September 13, 1993 episode of Raw was watched by 1.021 million households. “If that episode had fewer than 1.45 viewers per home, it could have had fewer total viewers than Monday’s episode,” says Thurston.

It’s been pointed out to me the Oct 1993 issue of Matwatch reported the Sept 13, 1993 episode of Raw was watched by 1.021 million households. If that episode had fewer than 1.45 viewers per home, it could have had fewer total viewers than Mon’s episode. (Repost to correct date) pic.twitter.com/0RvHEFUzWf
