WWE Raw viewership rebounds with 9% increase following Democratic National Convention

WWE Raw experienced a rebound in viewership this week after a dip during the Democratic National Convention. The show attracted 1.796 million total viewers and scored a 0.56 rating in the crucial 18-49 age group. These numbers represent increases of 9% and 12% respectively compared to the previous week.

The positive trend extends beyond just this week, with Raw showing growth compared to last year. The third quarter of 2024 has seen a 6% increase in total viewership and a 14% jump in the 18-49 demographic compared to the same period in 2023. August 2024 also outperformed August 2023, with modest gains in both total viewers and the key demographic.

This week’s episode, which took place in Providence, Rhode Island, served as the final show before WWE’s upcoming event in Germany, Bash in Berlin. Notable matches included a singles bout between Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed that ended in a no-contest due to a backstage brawl. The main event featured the in-ring debut of Bo Dallas’ character Uncle Howdy, who emerged victorious against Chad Gable.
