World Wrestling Entertainment has began a new chapter, and the numbers are indicating it’s already a successful one. The post-SummerSlam edition of Monday Night Raw drew 2.23 million viewers with a 0.61 rating in the key demographic of 18-49. This was the first episode of Raw with Paul “Triple H” Levesque truly in charge of creative, as last week’s Raw was reportedly largely written before The Game was promoted that same day. As Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics points out, the August 1st edition of Raw did the highest total viewership for the show since March 16th, 2020, which did 2.33 million viewers. That Raw was the first to emanate from the vacant WWE Performance Center and would start a 16-month stretch of crowd-less WWE shows.
This post-Summerslam episode and the first Raw since Paul Levesque took over creative, is the highest total viewership since March 16, 2020, the first Raw without an audience due to Covid.P18-49 was the highest since the post-Wrestlemania Raw in Aprilhttps://t.co/s1CKyIMlmi pic.twitter.com/6n9WkZlemB
