Monday’s live edition of WWE RAW, featuring WWE Champion Bobby Lashley defeating Braun Strowman in the non-title main event, drew an average of 1.872 million viewers on the USA Network, according to Showbuzz Daily.

This is up 5.5% from last week’s 1.774 million viewers.

This is the sixth week in a row that RAW ranked #1, which comes six weeks after an eight-week run at #1 ended due to college basketball. This is the sixteenth week where RAW had no football competition, and the sixth since the recent NCAA basketball competition on cable, which put them back in a multi-week streak at #1 on cable.

This week’s RAW viewership was up 5.5% from last week, while the key demo rating was up 8.2% from last week.

This week’s RAW viewership was up 11% from the same week in 2020, while the key demo rating was up 15.2% from the same week 2020. It should be noted that at this same time last year, RAW ratings were dropping drastically with shows being held at the WWE Performance Center.
