This week’s Raw was up 2% with an average of 2,740,000 watching this week’s show on the USA Network from the O2 Arena in London.
The show opened with 2,903,000 viewers before experiencing a 7% drop to 2,692,000 viewers in the second hour. The show finished with 2,628,000 viewers for the final hour. Unlike most weeks, the big drop was from the first to the second hour as opposed to the regular drop in the third hour.
