Monday's episode of Raw, which was headlined by Braun Strowman vs. Big Show, averaged 3.208 million viewers on the USA Network and was up four percent from last week.

As I recently pointed out in an article, there has been a decline in Raw ratings for shows that follow brand-exclusive pay-per-views, which was the case last week.

This week's third hour held up better than it usually does, although there was still a decline. Raw did 3.259 million in the first hour, stayed basically even at 3.261 for hour two, and the third hour dropped three percent, to 3.127 million. The usual decline of late has been about ten percent from hour one to three.

Raw was second for the night on cable in terms of total viewers, trailing only The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News. It was also second in the 18-49 demo, with a 1.16 rating, trailing Love and Hip Hop.
