Viewership Numbers for 8/5 WWE RAW – The August 5th episode of WWE Raw garnered 1.73 million viewers, marking a significant increase from the 1.412 million viewers the show attracted on July 22nd. This rise in viewership is particularly notable given that the episode aired on SyFy, rather than its usual home on the USA Network, due to the Olympics.
In addition to the overall viewership boost, the episode also saw an increase in its key demographic rating. Monday’s broadcast achieved a 0.62 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from the 0.51 rating recorded for the previous week’s episode. This is an impressive jump, especially considering the challenges of airing on a different network.
The August 5th episode aired in the aftermath of WWE’s SummerSlam event, which is one of the company’s biggest shows of the year. Post-SummerSlam episodes often draw higher interest as fans tune in to see the fallout from the major matches and storylines. This particular episode managed to deliver the highest rating in the 18-49 demographic since the post-WrestleMania episode earlier in the year, which is traditionally one of WWE’s most-watched broadcasts.
The switch to SyFy might have posed a challenge, but the strong numbers suggest that WWE’s audience was eager to follow the action regardless of the network change. Raw’s ability to maintain and even grow its audience under these circumstances is a testament to the show’s enduring appeal and the strength of its post-SummerSlam storylines.
The ratings success on August 5th highlights the importance of WWE’s major events like SummerSlam in driving interest and viewership for their weekly programming. As WWE continues to navigate the television landscape, the ability to draw strong ratings even when airing on a secondary network will be a valuable asset.
