The third hour was the second-lowest viewership for any hour of Raw in the history of the series.<\/p>\n<p>The first-to-third hour dropoff was 205,000, below the 263,000 average going into this week, so the Randy Orton vs. Big Show match did a better job than average of holding viewers who tuned in during the first hour. First hour viewership was the third lowest first-hour viewership ever, though.<\/p>\n<p>Raw&#8217;s three hours finished no. 3, 6, and 7 in the cable rankings in the 18-49 demographic.<\/p>\n<p>In the 18-34 male demo, Raw dropped to a 0.25 rating. That is down from 0.36 last week and might be a series-low level for that demo. AEW Dynamite last week drew a 0.20 rating in that demo last week. Two weeks ago, it drew a 0.25 rating in that demo. The gap between Raw and Dynamite among 18-34 year old men is shrinking.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/07\/15\/wwe-monday-night-raw-sets-an-all-time-record-low-rating-still-finishes-high-in-cable-demo-rankings-year-ago-key-comparisons-other-metrics\/\">WWE Monday Night Raw sets an all-time record low rating, still finishes high in cable demo rankings, year-ago key comparisons, other metrics<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3324038671\"><div id=\"pwtor-2551573393\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Last night&#8217;s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Network drew 1.21 rating, up from last week&#8217;s all-time series low of 1.15.
