WWE RAW Viewership Up For The Undertaker's Return
Monday's WWE RAW episode, featuring The Undertaker's return with the final red brand hype for WWE Super ShowDown plus an advertised cash in by Brock Lesnar on WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins, drew an average of 2.405 million viewers, according to Showbuzz Daily. This is up 10% from last week's 2.190 million viewers for the Memorial Day episode, which was the second-lowest audience of 2019.
For this week's show, the first hour drew 2.308 million viewers (last week's hour 1 – 2.265 million), the second hour drew 2.558 million viewers (last week's hour 2 – 2.254 million) and the final hour drew 2.349 million viewers (last week's hour 3 – 2.051 million).
This week's RAW saw the third hour draw more than the first, likely due to the show-closing appearance from The Undertaker.
