Dec. 12’s episode was watched by an average hourly audience of 1,472,000. That’s the lowest that number’s been since
July 5, 2021 — which means last night’s show tied for the smallest audience in Raw’s almost 30 year history.
Ratings among 18-49 year olds also fell to an hourly average of .37, another near record low (the third ever lowest, to be exact).
We can’t really point the finger at Monday Night Football this week, either. The New England Patriots victory over the Arizona Cardinals won the night, but had one of the smallest audiences of the season (10.25 million viewers combined for both the main ESPN broadcast and ESPN2’s “Manningcast”).
