Monday Night Raw 19/23 not only provided us with full-fledged entertainment last night, but it also granted the promotion a landmark milestone. Yesterday’s episode of the flagship show attained an amazing feat in terms of viewership numbers.

Despite not lending itself as an impressive statistic, especially given WWE’s impressive past records with Raw viewership, doing it at the same time as the most-watched NFL game as the slot competitor made it so.

Raw before Survivor Series came up with a lot of intrigue on the road to next week’s PLE. A couple of surprise finishes and hooks perfectly enhanced the volume of a stacked-up match card. And all the efforts of the company have been reflected in the recently revealed rating stat.

According to the reports, the overall rating for “Raw” was quite consistent with last week’s rating. But the ultimate game changer emerged with the 12% spike in the 18-49 demographic. This provided the program with its highest rating in the coveted demographic since September.

1,459,000 viewers watched the red brand show, which marked a slight 1% dip from last week. 644,000 viewers from the 18-49 demographic tuned in for the go-home show before Survivor Series.

Now, the fact that they did it during the ”Monday Night Football” game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles made it an outstanding achievement. The Super Bowl rematch was the highest-rated episode in the past 27 years and WWE beat it in decisive fashion.
