WWE RAW viewership increased on Monday night, but the key demogaphic number fell to a historic low.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports that 1.593 million viewers watched the show on October 18. This number is up from the 1.582 million who watched the show last week. That being said, Thurston notes that the 0.39 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic, down from last week’s 0.42 rating, was the show’s lowest figure since at least 2014. In fact, it’s the lowest recorded rating in the show’s history.
Raw ranked #7 on the day among cable originals, according to Showbuzz Daily.
