It down from last week&#8217;s 1.33.<\/p>\n<p>In the key 18-49 adult demo, Raw drew a 0.66 rating. Raw has dropped five-straight weeks with ratings in that key demo of 0.76, 0.74, 0.73, and 0.71 leading into this week&#8217;s additional drop. One year ago this week in that demo, Raw drew a 0.79 rating.<\/p>\n<p>Among all cable shows in the 18-49 demo, Raw finished in spots no. 4, 5, and 6, behind NCAA Basketball Tournament games on TNT and TBS. In recent weeks, Raw had held the top three positions.<\/p>\n<p>WWE presumably would have received a post-PPV bump, but that was mitigated by the NCAA tournament being stronger-than-usual competition in that demo, although it was close with basketball drawing demo ratings of 0.62, 0.56, and 0.56, barely above the 0.53 Raw&#8217;s first two hours drew. Raw drew a 0.52 in the third hour in that key demo.<\/p>\n<p>Aong men 18-34, Raw drew a 0.27, down from 0.35 last week and 0.41 the prior week. It drew 0.46 one year ago this week in that demo. That&#8217;s a sharp year-over-year dropoff. Among men 18-49, Raw drew a 0.64, down from 0.73 last week and way down from the 0.95 it drew a year ago this week.<\/p>\n<p>Raw built around Randy Orton summoning The Fiend in the final segment. Raw held its audience more than usual, with a first-to-third hour dropoff of just 149,00 compared to the 205,000 average year-to-date coming into this week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-830059234\"><div id=\"pwtor-648679906\"><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>This week&#8217;s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Network drew a 1.28 rating, the lowest number since Feb. 15 and 0.3 below the 2021 average so far of 1.31.
