WWE’s flagship show Monday Night RAW has shown improvement in regard to viewership since Vince McMahon departed from the company in mid-July. The show has averaged 1.886 million viewers since the post-McMahon episode. It’s an improvement from the 1.735 average the show had prior to the first episode without McMahon at the helm.
According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter, USA network officials are said to be “thrilled” with how much the show has improved over the past several weeks. The report notes that USA Network officials are hoping the returns of Bray Wyatt and others could help lift ratings across all WWE programming. It should be noted that Wyatt is reportedly set to only make SmackDown appearances in the future.
Even NXT is gaining viewership, with the post-McMahon era episodes averaging 670,000 viewers. This is an increase from the 593,000 average prior to McMahon leaving.
