It is still above the monthly average of 1.85 and above the ten-week rolling average of 1.85. The Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley high-stakes pre-announced main event along with the teaser all day on social media of a major announcement by Stephanie McMahon likely helped keep the rating above the 1.90 mark for the second week in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 2.817 million viewers, the second hour 2.821 million, and the third hour 2.701 million. The first-to-third hour dropoff was 117,000, about one-third of the average so far in 2018 of 334,000.<\/p>\n<p>One year ago Raw drew a 2.13 rating and two years ago Raw drew a 2.36 rating.<\/p>\n<p>Although Raw is well below ratings in past years, its three hours finished in the no. 2, 3, and 4 spots among all cable shows on Monday night among 18-49 year olds, a key demo targeted by advertisers. It was the most viewed non-news\/politics show among all viewers on Monday night. &#8220;Hannity&#8221; and &#8220;Tucker Carlson&#8221; on Fox News and &#8220;Rachel Maddow&#8221; on MSNBC drew more total average viewers, but not by much, although those shows skewed older and lower within the key adult demo.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT REPORT:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/24\/brian-christopher-arrested-on-dui-charges-matt-sydal-of-impact-talks-about-being-reinvigorated-in-new-landscape-mlw-war-games-in-september\/\">Brian Christopher arrested on DUI charges, Matt Sydal of Impact talks about being reinvigorated in new landscape, MLW War Games in September<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-2706352726\"><div id=\"pwtor-1120168865\"><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 a 1.92 rating, down from last week&#8217;s post-PPV edition which drew a 1.96 rating.
