This week’s RAW on Syfy drew the lowest audience in show history for a prime time airing, but it was the first time since 2008 that RAW was bumped from the USA Network to Syfy, so a significant drop was expected. The lowest viewership in overall show history came on August 25, 2008 when RAW was moved to 12:40am due to US Open Tennis, and drew 483,000 viewers. The key demo rating is actually not the lowest for the show as the December 6, 2021 episode drew a 0.35 key demo rating. The Winter Olympics coverage of men’s figure skating aired in the usual RAW timeslot on the USA Network and drew 2.071 million viewers with a 0.40 key demo rating, ranking #1 for the night on the Cable Top 150 with that rating. This week’s RAW viewership was down 25.63% from last week’s episode on the USA Network, while this week’s key demo rating was down 23.40% from last week.

The Bachelor on ABC drew an average of 3.143 million viewers on broadcast TV at 8pm, while The Neighborhood drew 4.048 million viewers on CBS, the Winter Olympics on NBC drew 8.448 million viewers on NBC, 911: Lone Star drew 5.117 million viewers on FOX, and CW’s March drew 313,000 viewers, all in the 8pm hour on broadcast TV. The Winter Olympics on NBC drew the best key demo rating of the night on network TV with a 1.59.

Monday’s RAW viewership was down 19.12% from the same week in 2021, while the 18-49 key demo rating was down 26.53% from the same week in 2021. The episode one year ago aired on the USA Network.

Monday’s RAW from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO had just a few segments and one match advertised ahead of time – the Quiz Bowl with RK-Bro and RAW Tag Team Champions Alpha Academy as the opener, WWE Hall of Famer Lita appearing to hype her match with RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch at Elimination Chamber, and Seth Rollins vs. Riddle, which turned into Rollins and Kevin Owens vs. Riddle and Randy Orton in the main event.
