This week’s WWE Raw drew 1.596 million viewers on the USA Network, according to a report from Wrestlenomics, up from last week’s viewership of 1.453 million.
The show, featuring semifinal matches for the tournament to crown the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion and a face-to-face between CM Punk and Seth Rollins, scored a 0.53 rating in the key demo for the final episode airing on the USA Network, up from last week’s rating of 0.42.
WWE Raw ranked #3 for the night on cable against ESPN coverage of the Lions-49ers NFL game and its pre-show, which averaged a combined 22.122 million across ESPN and ABC with a 5.17 rating in the key demo.
While the NFL and Neilsen required ratings numbers from Netflix for its broadcast of NFL games on 12/25, it is unclear whether that will be case with WWE when Raw debuts on the platform on 1/6.
