WWE Raw Viewership Up Slightly Against Winter Olympics

— Yesterday’s Raw was watched by an average of 3.10 million viewers, up slightly from last week’s 3.08 million despite going up against the Winter Olympics which was watched by over 20 million people. The competition from the Olympics is actually stronger than any NFL Monday Night game so this is obviously good news.

— Raw was the most watched show on cable TV, and fourth overall and didn’t seem affected by Olympics, likely because the two don’t share as many fans as wrestling and football.

— Hour one was predictably the most watched of the show, but there was only a marginal drop to hour and a bigger, yet smaller than expected, drop to hour three:

* Hour 1 – 3.28 million
* Hour 2 – 3.22 million
* Hour 3 – 2.84 million
