5/8 WWE RAW Viewership And Key Demo Ratings – 5/8 episode of WWE RAW drew an average of 1.785 million viewers on the USA Network, up from the 1.778 million viewers last week.
The 18-49 demo saw the average rating be 0.51, down from the 0.54 rating last week. The show went up against NBA and NHL playoff competition that dominated the night. The first NBA game did 4.558 million viewers and a 1.53 key demo rating, while the second game that went up against Raw’s third hour did 7.522 million viewers and a 2.71 key demo.
This was the lowest key demo rating since February 27. However, having the Raw’s side of the World Heavyweight Title Tournament take place throughout the show helped keep the ratings from suffering a major drop.
The 18-49 demos saw hour one had 0.50, then 0.54 in hour two, and 0.50 in hour three. Last week was 0.56, then 0.56 in hour two, and 0.50 in hour three. Here is the hourly viewership breakdown:
