— Monday’s TV viewership numbers are in and the news wasn’t great for WWE as Monday Night Raw took a massive fall, slipping 2.030 million viewers – down from last week’s 2.385 million. Competition on the night was significant as the college football championship game took place on ESPN and was watched by a massive 25.0 million viewers, pretty much the toughest competition Raw has faced all year. The good news is that starting next week, there will be no competition until the spring when the NBA playoffs kick off.
— On the night, Raw was #9, #10 and #13 in the 18-49 demographic with a 0.61 rating. This is down significantly week-over-week as there were multiple football related shows that bumped the show down. In fact, apart from college football programming, Raw beat everything else. Hours are below:
- * Hour 1 – 2.218 million
* Hour 2 – 2.059 million
* Hour 3 – 1.813 million
