Viewership and Rating Numbers for 6/17 WWE RAW – WWE Raw on June 17 averaged 1.75 million viewers and garnered a 0.55 rating in the 18-49 demographic, even facing competition from the final game of the NBA playoffs.
The strong numbers can be attributed to the post-PPV bump that Raw typically experiences, as well as the highly anticipated payoff of the Wyatt Sick6 angle, which had been built up for a considerable time.
Key points from the viewership analysis:
- Raw’s first hour indicated high curiosity stemming from the recent PPV, and the third hour’s performance was stronger than usual.
- Raw was the No. 1 show on cable in the 18-49 demographic, surpassing all television programs except those related to the NBA finals. The NBA game itself attracted 12.22 million viewers with a 3.65 rating in the 18-49 demo.
- Raw’s viewership increased by nine percent from the previous week, despite facing stronger competition, and the 18-49 rating was up by 10 percent.
- NBC aired the Olympic trials during the same timeframe, with two shows: the first hour plus drew 3.15 million viewers and a 0.41 rating, while the last 45 minutes drew 2.67 million viewers and a 0.35 rating.
- ESPN’s College Baseball World Series, which aired concurrently, attracted 1.49 million viewers with a 0.26 rating in the 18-49 demo. The highest-rated entertainment show on cable against Raw was “Below Deck,” which had 741,000 viewers and a 0.15 rating.
- Compared to last year, Raw’s viewership was down by four percent, and it saw a decrease of 3,000 viewers in the 18-49 demographic. However, considering the competition from the NBA playoffs and the overall decline in cable television viewership, these numbers are actually a positive outcome.
