Among adults 18-34, the demo fell by 20 percent with males dropping 21 percent and women decreasing by 19 percent.
Adults 35-49 dropped by nine percent including a sizable decline of 29 percent among women in that demo, although it’s a reflection of such a strong female number in the demo last week as this week’s 35-49 female audience was larger than the one for Raw is XXX.
Adults 50+ dropped from 0.94 to 0.88 this week.
The show began with 1,968,000 viewers and 0.57 in the 18-49 demographic. The show dropped to 1,881,000 viewers and 0.56 in the second hour and the final hour fell to 1,750,000 and 0.53 including the main event between Becky Lynch and Bayley inside a steel cage.
