WWE Raw Ratings Rise For Season Premiere Episode

The Season Premiere episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on October 25 saw an upturn in viewership and audience figures in key demographics.

According to ShowBuzz Daily this week's WWE Raw - which served as the Season Premiere of the show and was also the post-Crown Jewel event - drew an average of 1.658 million viewers on the USA Network.

The average viewership figure represents a 4.08 per cent increase from last week's show, with the lack of competition from Major League Baseball this week likely playing a significant role.

According to Wrestlenomics, the Monday Night Raw season premiere drew a 0.47 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, which equates to around 613,000 viewers.

That number is a significant upturn - around 20.2 per cent - from the 0.39 rating that Raw received on October 18, when the show only drew a 0.39 rating (510,000 viewers) in the 18-49 category.

In terms of cable, Raw was sixth for the night, behind only NFL-related programming on ESPN and ESPN2.
