Last night’s Raw after the Royal Rumble had an average of 1.89 million viewers overall and a rating of 0.58 at 18-49, numbers that would be disappointing based on following the second biggest show of the year.
The only positive point is that the third hour, built around Edge vs. Randy Orton, although not promoted until the middle of the show, remained better than normal and was the first time in a long time at that time three won the second hour (0.57 to 0.55), based almost entirely an increase of 13% from the second to the third in men aged 18 to 49 years. Women aged 18 to 49 fell 12% from the second to the third.
The show started last week, but that was expected. Compared to the night after the 2020 Royal Rumble, Raw dropped 21 percent in viewers, 24 percent at 18-49 and 39 percent at 18-34.
Since last week, the program has seen an increase of 4% in viewers, 12% in 18-49 and 6% in 18-34, which means that it has also become younger than last week, but older than last year. past.
Raw took first place of the night in 18-49 on cable and beat CBS (all in reruns) and NBC (not reruns) between networks, which means it was third behind ABC and Fox in the demo key to all television. It was 18th in total viewers, behind only the news channels.
As for the falls from the first to the third hour, women aged 18 to 49 fell 22 percent, which is high, but men aged 18 to 49 rose 3 percent, probably due to the fact that Edge vs. Orton have attracted that group more. Adolescent girls increased by 22% and boys by 10%, while those over 50 fell by 10%.
The three hours were:
- 8 pm 1.98 million viewers
- 9 pm 1.90 million viewers
- 22h 1.81 million viewers
