WWE Raw Ratings Surge Amidst The Rock’s SmackDown Controversy

Published on

Raw’s Viewer Engagement Peaks Post-Rumble, Topping Cable and Broadcast


Summary

– WWE Raw nearly matched its post-Royal Rumble viewership, drawing 1.89 million viewers with a 0.58 rating in the 18-49 demographic, leading as the top show on cable.

– The show outperformed ABC’s The Bachelor in the same demographic when accounting for network accessibility, marking it as the true leader in television viewership for the night.

– Notably, segments featuring Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Drew McIntyre and the Rhodes vs. Shinsuke Nakamura bull rope match attracted peak viewership, showcasing strong audience interest.

Following the buzz generated by The Rock’s appearance on WWE SmackDown, WWE Raw capitalized on the heightened interest, almost equating its viewership numbers to the post-Royal Rumble episode. With 1.89 million viewers and securing a 0.58 in the crucial 18-49 demographic, Raw dominated cable and, when considering the actual percentage of viewers with network access, outshone broadcast competition like ABC’s The Bachelor.

Raw’s performance is awe-inspiring, considering it maintained its momentum from the post-Rumble episode, a time traditionally expected to draw significant numbers. The opening segment and a high-stakes bull rope match between Cody Rhodes and Shinsuke Nakamura were among the key highlights, drawing in over 2 million viewers each and proving that WWE’s strategic programming resonates with its audience.

Despite the challenges of Daylight Savings Time adjustments, Raw’s viewership at 9 PM showed that a substantial portion of the audience remains engaged, further emphasizing the show’s ability to captivate viewers across its three-hour runtime. This consistency in viewership, paired with a year-over-year increase in the coveted 18-49 demographic, underscores WWE Raw’s enduring appeal and position as a powerhouse in sports entertainment.
