WWE News: RAW Rating Increases, Holds 3 Of Top 4 Spots (7/30/18)

WWE RAW

After last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW saw a decrease of 3% in the ratings from the week prior, last night’s episode had the return of Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, as well as Ronda Rousey from her suspension from the red brand. Did this help to increase the show’s audience?

The numbers are in for last night’s edition of RAW and the answer seems to be, “Yes”. With RAW in Miami last night, the ratings saw a 4.25% increase from last week with a rating of 2.901. Here’s a look at the last four weeks of ratings for the red brand:

  • July 9th: 2.470
  • July 16th: 2.866
  • July 23rd: 2.779
  • July 30th: 2.901

Another increase for Monday Night RAW this week was seen in the Cable Top 150 Rankings for the 18-49 demographic. Last week, Love & Hip Hop Hollywood occupied the top spot, but that was taken over by the red brand last night:

  1. Monday Night RAW (9PM Hour) – USA Network – 1.02
  2. Love & Hip Hop Hollywood – VH1 – 0.99
  3. Monday Night RAW (10PM Hour) – USA Network – 0.98
  4. Monday Night RAW (8PM Hour) – USA Network – 0.96
  5. Teen Mom 2 – MTV – 0.75

EA’s Take: To be fully transparent here, I thought last night’s episode of RAW was brutal to watch and to for the first time in a very long time, it was hard for me to pull out the positives. I mean, it actually felt like a job to watch last night for me. However, that didn’t seem to matter much when it comes to the ratings, which I do feel was helped by the returns of Lesnar and Rousey. It had to be that, right? Hell, that’s what the entire show seemed to be based around, almost as if the writers threw their hands up in the air and said, “*%$# it, we got Ronda and Brock back!”. There was very little competition either, which will change next week. I was a big fan of Breaking Bad and the subsequent spin-off, Better Call Saul, returns next Monday night so I’m pretty interested to see if there’s any kind of impact there.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
