It&#8217;s 0.004 below the yearly average so far in 2019. It&#8217;s below the 2.13 rating from one year ago and 2.16 rating from two years ago. The ten-week rolling average, which includes Christmas Eve and New Year&#8217;s Eve holiday episodes, is 1.66.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 2.689 million viewers, the second hour drew 2.445 million, and the third hour drew 2.252 million. The first-to-third hour drop-off was 437,000, higher the previous two weeks (335,000 and 241,000) for a show built around whether Becky Lynch would apologize to Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.<\/p>\n<p>Although Raw is usually a rating leader on Monday nights compared to other Monday programming, with the exception of NFL and big college football games, its viewership is well below Sunday&#8217;s leader, &#8220;The Walking Dead,&#8221;n which returned from its mid-season break with 5.156 million viewers, roughly doubling Raw&#8217;s average viewership. Saturday&#8217;s Duke vs. Virginia college basketball game drew 3.318 million viewers to top that night&#8217;s cable ratings.
