In the first week of the so-called New Era for Monday Night Raw, WWE drew 3.33 million viewers. In week two, they had the promise of Brock Lesnar appearing for the first time since WrestleMania 32/UFC 200.
The result was steady viewership, as the show garnered 3.31 million viewers this week.
The hourly breakdown shows the third hour continues to struggle, despite Lesnar’s appearance coming at the end of the show:
Hour one: 3.46 million
Hour two: 3.39 million
Hour three: 3.08 million
There’s no reason to think the numbers will change much beyond that, at least not anytime soon. At the very least, they can rest assured SmackDown Live won’t be able to hang, so at least Stephanie McMahon and Mick Foley have a talking point for promos.
Right.
