Last year, on Christmas night, it drew a 1.69. Two years ago, on Dec. 26, drew a 1.94.\u00a0The 2018 average is now 1.96. The ten-week rolling average is 1.64<\/p>\n<p>The first hour viewership was 1.752 million, down from last week&#8217;s opening hour viewership of 2.558 million. The second hour viewership was 1.789 million, down from last week&#8217;s 2.367 million. The third hour drew 1.784 million, down from last week&#8217;s 2.367 million.<\/p>\n<p>In the target demographic of 18-49 year olds, the only cable shows that beat Raw were NFL-related shows on ESPN. Raw&#8217;s three hours finished in spots 4, 5, 6 behind the NFL programs. The NFL Monday Night Football game drew a 2.3 rating in the 18-49 demo and 8.597 million viewers compared to Raw&#8217;s 0.6, 0.5, and 0.5 hourly ratings and just under 1.80 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>While the rating this week for Raw can be &#8220;excused&#8221; to a certain degree because it fell on Christmas Eve, last year&#8217;s Raw didn&#8217;t experience nearly the same drop-off for a Christmas night airing. Last year it dropped from 1.95 to 1.69, and this year it dropped from 1.74 to 1.22.<\/p>\n<p>Monday Night Football was down to 8.597 million viewers compared to 13.006 million the week before, although it was a weaker game this week (Denver Broncos vs. Oakland Raiders) than last week (New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/12\/24\/12-24-wwe-monday-night-raw-results-kellers-report-and-analysis-on-special-christmas-themed-episode-including-rousey-vs-natalya-corbin-vs-seth-lashley-vs-elias\/\">12\/24 WWE Monday Night Raw Results: Keller\u2019s report and analysis on special Christmas-themed episode including Rousey vs. Natalya, Corbin vs. Seth, Lashley vs. Elias<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-321772141\"><div id=\"pwtor-981071121\"><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>The Dec. 24 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a record-low 1.22 rating on USA Network.
