That&#8217;s a jump of 0.30 over the prior ten week average.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Raw drew a 2.21 rating this week, which was a jump of 0.25 over the prior ten week average.<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s encouraging for WWE that viewers returned at a higher percentage than last year, but it&#8217;s bad news that 1.89 is the highest Raw has been since Aug. 27, whereas the rating for the same show the last two years was 2.21 and 2.16.<\/p>\n<p>The hourly viewership was 2.775 million first hour, 2.781 second hour, and 2.610 third hour. That&#8217;s a first-to-third drop-off of 165,000, lower than the ten week rolling average headed into this week of 346,000, although it&#8217;s been both much higher (539,000 last week) and much lower (35,000 on Dec. 17).<\/p>\n<p>With football season over, WWE Raw&#8217;s three hours finished in the top three spots for Monday night with a 0.9 in the key 18-49 demographic all three hours. In total viewers, the most viewed show was The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC which drew 3.347 million. However, Raw&#8217;s three hours were no. 2, 3, and 4 in total viewers for the night, as no other show topped Raw in total viewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2019\/01\/14\/top-3-developments-raw-1-14-braun-loses-his-shot-finn-as-title-contender-lashley-wins-ic-title\/\">TOP 3 DEVELOPMENTS \u2013 RAW 1\/14: Braun Loses His Shot, Finn as Title Contender, Lashley Wins IC TItle<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1889428343\"><div id=\"pwtor-1896350628\"><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 Jan. 14 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Network drew a 1.89 rating, the highest rating for Raw since Aug. 27 before football season began.
