Hourly Viewership (in millions):

• 1st Hour: 1.852 (up from 1.532 last week)
• 2nd Hour: 1.742 (up from 1.742 last week)
• 3rd Hour: 1.579 (up from 1.579 last week)

Despite going up against the Olympics and the move from USA Network to SyFy took away from what would have very likely been an even stronger viewership, but coming two days after Summerslam gave it a rebound from last week’s drop due to similar headwinds.

One year ago this week, Raw averaged 1.960 million viewers the day after Summerslam. The ten-week rolling average was 1.873 million viewers.
