The post-SummerSlam edition of Raw scored its largest 18-49 audience since the night after WrestleMania 40.
The August 5 episode in Baltimore averaged 1,724,000 viewers and 818,000 (0.62) in the 18-49 demographic, per PW Torch & Wrestlenomics.
Despite airing on Syfy, the show hit its largest 18-49 audience since April 8 following WrestleMania 40 and increased by 21% over last week’s key demo audience, which also aired on Syfy.
It was Raw’s third largest 18-49 audience of the year, which is even more impressive given it aired on Syfy rather than the USA Network. It suggests that the number would have been higher if it aired on its regular network.
Overall viewership increased by 22% over last week’s audience while airing against coverage of the Summer Olympics, which we don’t have data for yet.
The first hour, which aired commercial-free, averaged 1,852,000 viewers.
In the second hour, the show averaged 1,742,000 viewers and dropped to 1,579,000 viewers featuring the in-ring debut of The Wyatt Sicks in the main event.
The show also performed well in Canada with the show attracting 389,600 viewers and its largest audience in the country since March 18.
Raw returns to the USA Network next Monday with an episode from Austin, Texas.
