Monday Night Raw drew an average of 1,695,000 viewers this week, a big drop of 177,000 viewers compared to last week’s post-HIAC show.

Raw started well with 1,812,000 viewers, then dropped to 1,740,000 viewers for the second hour, before finishing the night with just 1,534,000 viewers. Raw dropped 278,000 viewers from the first to the third hour mainly thanks to the NBA Finals on ABC which drew 13 million viewers and no real main event to keep viewers glued to Raw.

Raw was #1, #2, and #3 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demo with 0.47, 0.44, and 0.38 respectively for an average of 0.43, down 0.09 from last week. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
