SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…

Last night’s (6/25) episode of WWE Raw averaged 1.814 million viewers, up from 1.747 million last week and 1.609 million the week before.

The last ten weeks have averaged 1.676 million viewers, so this was well above recent viewership numbers. Last year, the same ten week period averaged 1.756 million viewers.

The average through 26 weeks this year is 1.731 million viewers. The average through 26 weeks last year was 1.819 million viewers.

The hourly viewership last night:

• 1st hour: 1.804 million
• 2nd hour: 1.936 million
• 3rd hour: 1.703 million

MOST NOTEWORTHY METRIC…

The most noteworthy metric this week is arguably that the second hour had an atypical spike. The second hour started with Liv Morgan’s in-ring promo inviting Dominik Mysterio to the ring, plus Chad Gable’s first match since being “massacred” by The Wyatt Sicks last week.

The first-to-third hour drop-off was lower than usual, perhaps due to the hook of the Wyatt Sicks VHS tape being played late in the show.
