That guy who bet Bryan Alvarez that RAW would average over three million owes him ten bucks.

[KofiMania]

Highest since the night after Summerslam. Before that, it’s the highest since last April.

[fw91]

It was a good show though. At least imo.

Next week viewership should be better now that Batista returned.

They threw damn nere everything they could muster lastnight....only for a 2.9

rough times

Knew it would average high off the Reigns stuff, but once again they lost half a million by shows end. They're still not really keeping fans throughout the show...

Only? That’s a very good rating for them. The only advertised “big” event was Reigns announcement. If Batista had been hyped prior, they would’ve done even better.

3 hours is too long.

Raw's 2.9 million average doubled all but one other non-news show, which did 1.5 million. That's not an "only." That's a "killed the competition."

[dbrussel]

"Killed the competition" lmao. There wasnt competition to begin with, apart of that Love & Hip Hop show.

Roman draws. He's ready brother. That 70 years old bday man on the other hand......

[prichardmark]

Sounds like they are throwing millions of more bucks to NXT overseas and brining a ton of backstage people to the payroll. They better be careful, ESPECIALLY if AEW finally becomes competitors and star taking some big names . They won't have those sweet TV deals to fall back on anymore. Im sure there are clauses in those contracts to where they can pay less orr they may not get renewed for the same amount of money. . Just all the added expense they are doing with NXT/developmental crap.


They can't even break 3 million viewers still and they jam packed the whole damn Raw with stars and Roman's return.  Still nada.   If within a year or two AEW gets going with a quality product, steals some talent, , WWE can be in some financial trouble.    They got a gazillion people on the payroll now and NXT is a big time expense to their Bottom line.

Looks like more people stuck around to see what nonsense happened during Flair's party. I guess they'd mostly have been pleased to see Batista return. With that, Becky's ongoing story and Reigns' return, this was a Raw that actually had some stuff worth talking about.

Raw never really has to worry about competition in ratings and it's been that way since WCW folded. Either it does better than everything or MNF kicks its ass during football season. But it's still a declining trend compared to ratings in previous years.

Not bad!
