WWE RAW struggled against the season premiere of Monday Night Football.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports that the September 13 episode drew 1.670 million viewers, a sizable drop from the 1.848 million viewers who watched the show last week. Monday’s show scored a 0.43 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic, which is also down from the 0.52 rating in the same demographic on September 6. With this decrease, the show’s viewership has dropped for the third week in a row.
Thurston also notes that the 0.43 demographic rating is the show’s lowest since July 5, which came shortly before the return of live fans.
Against Week 1 of Monday Night Football on ESPN and ABC, WWE Raw last night on USA Network was watched by 1,670,000 viewers on average, the fewest since July 12.
556,000 of those viewers were aged 18 to 49 (0.43 rating), the lowest since July 5.
