USA Network's quarterly press touting TV viewership success included a nod to WWE Raw.

USA claimed a summer victory in prime time, mainly due to the launch of "Mr. Robot," WWE Raw being live and weekly, and other USA shows having original episodes while most networks take the summer off.

Regarding Raw, USA described WWE's flagship show as "the most-watched, regularly scheduled, year-round program on cable, airing a live three-hour block every Monday night, 52 weeks a year."

USA said Raw "earned a spot in the Top 10 shows on television." Numbers cited included an average of 4.22 million viewers per episode in the summer period (June to August).

From June to August, Raw averaged 3.746 million viewers live + same day. It appears USA tacked on 12.6 percent DVR viewing to arrive at the 4.22 million figure, which is on the high side.

We began tracking weekly DVR viewing in June. Our weekly break down averages to an 11.1 percent add-on for Raw DVR viewing.
