TV Wrestling Viewership Break Down
Week of September 21


- WWE's share of the TV Viewership pie dropped to 91 percent after enjoying a 93 percent share last week. This was a combination of Impact rebounding, ROH having its best showing on Destination America in two months, and WWE Raw continuing to slide.

Overall, the total pie of live viewers slightly increased from last week, but the total of live+DVR viewing fell for the fourth consecutive week. This was mainly due to Raw having its weakest DVR numbers of the Third Quarter. So, not only did Raw's live viewing dip, but there was not a bump in DVR views to make for it.

WWE Raw & Smackdown, TNA Impact, ROH TV Viewership

- Total Live TV Wrestling Viewership: 6.049 million total viewers, up from 5.889 million total viewers last week.

- Total DVR Added Viewership: 6.617 million total with DVR, down slightly from 6.628 million total viewers with DVR last week.

***

- Monday, September 21: WWE Raw struggled in both the live viewing and DVR-added categories.

8:00 p.m.: 3.420 million live viewers, 3.695 million with DVR (+8.0%)
9:00 p.m.: 3.368 million live viewers, 3.668 million with DVR (+8.9%)
10:00 p.m.: 3.260 million live viewers, 3.587 million with DVR (+10.0%)

- THIS WEEK: 3.349 million avg. live viewers, 3.650 million with DVR (+9.0%)
- LAST WEEK: 3.397 million avg. live viewers, 3.843 million with DVR (+12.9%)
- 2 WEEKS AGO: 3.385 million avg. live viewers, 3.854 million with DVR (+13.8%)

Overall, DVR viewing did not make up for the lack of live viewing.

- Wednesday, Sept. 23: Ring of Honor's only airing at 11:00 p.m. EST drew 168,000 viewers, neatly doubling last week's low-point of 89,000 against the GOP debate. ROH did not place in the weekly cable TV rankings, therefore DVR viewing was not accounted for.

- Wednesday, Sept. 23: TNA Impact drew 272,000 first-run viewers, up slightly from 258,000 last week against the GOP debate, but down from 323,000 viewers two weeks ago.

The replay/West Coast airing after ROH then drew 122,000 viewers, doubling last week.

DVR viewing was 52,000, down from the usual range.

Therefore, TNA's total audience was 446,000 viewers, up from 395,000 last week, but down from 502,000 total viewers two weeks ago.

- Thursday, Sept. 24: WWE Smackdown drew 2.138 million first-run viewers, up from 2.0-2.1 million the previous two weeks.

Smackdown then added 215,000 DVR viewers, about the same as last week.

Therefore, Smackdown's total audience was 2.353 million viewers, up from 2.310 million last week.
