The ratings are in for the first episode of WWE Raw following SummerSlam and, as expected, numbers are up. How up are they? Maybe not as much as hoped, but still solid, all things considered.
PWTorch has the numbers:
WWE Raw on Monday, August 15 scored a 3.27 rating the night after Summerslam, up six percent compared to a 3.09 rating last week leading into Summerslam.
Raw averaged 5.05 million viewers with an average of 5.25 million viewers in the first hour and 4.86 million viewers in the second hour. Average viewership was up 12 percent compared to last week.
