WWE RAW Viewership Rises But Doesn't Make a Dent

This week's edition of Monday Night Raw, which was headlined by Finn Balor defeating Kevin Owens by disqualification, garnered about 2,525,000 viewers, which is a slight rise above last week's abysmal numbers but are still the lowest ratings since the September 2016 episode, which went up against the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. There was no NBA competition but the NHL Playoffs averaged around 5 million viewers.

Hour one - 2,594,000 viewers
