August 22: WWE Raw scored a 2.34 TV rating, up 10 percent from a 2.12 rating last week leading into Summerslam and against the Olympics.

Raw was not able to top the post-Battleground Raw, though. Raw on July 25 scored a 2.36 rating for the first Raw after the brand split and the night after the previous PPV.

Comparing the demographic ratings of the two post-PPV shows, Monday’s Raw won two categories and lost one category.

– Raw’s three hours averaged 3.315 million viewers, up 400,000 viewers (14 percent) from last week’s pre-Summerslam Raw.

The audience was down from 3.338 million viewers post-Battleground, though.

Raw also kept its streak going of 23 straight weeks where the third hour audience declined from the second hour. The silver lining was strong immediate interest in Summerslam fall-out…

• First Hour: 3.462 million viewers (tied with 8/1 Raw for most 1H viewers since April)
• Second Hour: 3.370 million viewers
• Third Hour: 3.113 million viewers, down eight percent from the second hour

The overall audience and viewership pattern was nearly identical to the August 1 Raw, which was the second episode after the brand split.
