Monday’s big RAW 25th Anniversary Special from New York City averaged 4.497 million viewers, a 38.4% spike from 3.250 million the previous week.
The 4.5 million viewers makes this the most-watched episode of WWE RAW in nearly 4 years when RAW did 5.6 million viewers the night after WrestleMania 30.
The RAW 25th Anniversary Special aired from the Manhattan Center and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The show featured appearances from dozens of WWE legends, including “Stone Cold” Steve Austin delivering stunners to Vince and Shane McMahon, The Undertaker’s first WWE TV appearance since WrestleMania 33, DX reunion and much more.
Here’s the hourly viewership breakdown, courtesy of ShowBuzz Daily:
- Hour 1 – 4.803 million
- Hour 2 – 4.641 million
- Hour 3 – 4.147 million
Almost 5 million viewers for that first hour of #Raw last night. Those "lapsed" fans are clearly still lurking, but imagine thinking that show last night did anything to make them wanna stick around.
