WWE RAW sees yet another fall in viewership

WWE RAW has recorded yet another fall in its ratings, new reports seem to confirm.

This week's edition of the red brand kicked off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Matt Riddle. It then saw The Original Bro take on Finn Balor after being offered a spot ionThe Judgment Day. It also saw Johnny Gargano make his RAW in-ring debut against Chad Gable and Edge take on Dominik Mysterio. The episode also featured an excellent Kevin Owens promo, as he called out and brawled with the young upstart Austin Theory.

Despite being an action-packed show, the same wasn't reflected in the ratings. According to Brandon Thurston, the red brand pulled in around 1.7 million viewers, a significant drop from last week, when the show brought in over 2 million.

It also recorded a 0.44 in the key demographic, which dropped from last week's 0.58. This drop in ratings could be due to the return of Monday Night Football, which aired in the same slow as RAW this week.
