Monday’s edition of WWE RAW from Albany, NY at the Times Union Center averaged 2.521 million viewers, up from 2.349 million the previous week, which is the third consecutive week that viewership was up.
WWE had to go up against the NBA game between the Warriors and Trailblazers that pulled in big viewership numbers (7.788) that had an impact on RAW’s rating. Here is the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowbuzzDaily:
- Hour 1: 2.681 million
- Hour 2: 2.583 million
- Hour 3: 2.299 million
For comparison, the same episode last year drew 2.792 million viewers for hour one, 2.767 in the second hour and 2.447 in the third hour.
The episode was expected to increase in viewership as this show was heavily hyped. This show served as the post-Money In The Bank episode of the red branded show.
RAW featured an opening segment with Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, and Universal Champion Seth Rollins. Also, at the top of the third hour, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley introduced the 24/7 Title.
Some of the matches that took place include Braun Strowman vs. Sami Zayn, Cesaro vs. Ricochet, The Revival vs. The Usos, Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch & Nikki Cross vs. Lacey Evans & The IIconics, Drew McIntyre vs. The Miz, and Kofi Kingston & Seth Rollins vs. Baron Corbin & Bobby Lashley in the main event.
