WWE RAW increases audience with Asuka vs. Alexa Bliss Main Event

Monday’s WWE RAW live episode featuring Alexa Bliss vs. RAW Women’s and WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Asuka in the main event, attracted an average of 1.855 million viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.

That’s more than 1.819 million viewers last week.

For this week’s program, the first hour attracted 1.991 million viewers (hour from last week 1 – 2.024 million), the second hour attracted 1.875 million viewers (hour 2 from last week – 1.802 million) and the final hour attracted 1.697 million of viewers (last week time 3 – 1.632 million).

This is the first week that the RAW has had no football competition. Last Monday was dominated by the College Football Championship game, and the regular NFL season ended the week before. It will be interesting to see if the RAW audience increases as it normally does now that there is no weekly football competition.
