WWE Raw TV Ratings Report
July 4, 2016

The Fourth of July Raw drew a total audience of 3.029 million viewers counting DVR viewership.

Capturing how low the figure is for last Monday’s holiday episode, the total audience was smaller than every other Raw episode’s live audience only this year.

Raw got a slightly above-average DVR bump, which trimmed a 14 percent live decline down to a 12 percent total decline from the June 27 Raw.

But, DVR viewership was not at the level of past Raws where live viewership was down significantly. It points to a significant portion of viewers treating the holiday episode like a skippable show.

– TV Rating: 1.87 (Bottom 3 all-time for Raw)

– Live Viewers: 2,658,000 million average per hour

– DVR Viewers: 371,333 average per hour

– Total Viewers: 3,029,333 million average per hour
