This week’s RAW drew what has to be considered strong numbers considering it was on Syfy, and faced competition from the Winter Olympics. The audience and key demo rating beat many shows that aired on the USA Network, and were both up from last week’s lowest audience ever for a primetime airing, and last week’s second-lowest key demo rating. This week’s hour 1 to hour 3 viewership drop of 17% was the second-biggest of this year so far. This week’s RAW viewership was up 15.5% from last week’s episode on Syfy, while this week’s key demo rating was up 22.22% from last week.

The Winter Olympics on NBC drew the best key demo rating of the night on network TV with a 1.47.

Monday’s RAW viewership was down 11.49% from the same week in 2021, while the 18-49 key demo rating was down 22.80% from the same week in 2021. The episode one year ago aired on the USA Network.
