WWE Raw Ratings Analysis: November 11 Show Sees Uptick in Viewership Despite NFL Competition

One Big Thing

WWE Raw’s November 11 broadcast showed positive momentum, drawing 1,564,000 viewers – a 7% increase from last week despite strong NFL competition.

By The Numbers

• Overall viewership: 1,564,000 (↑7% from previous week)
• Key demo (18-49): 0.49 rating (↑2% from previous week)
• Ranking: #3 and #4 in primetime telecasts
• Hour 1: 1.6 million viewers, 0.51 demo rating
• Hour 2: 1.5 million viewers, 0.46 demo rating

Why It Matters

This marks Raw’s second consecutive week of growth, suggesting the show’s creative direction is resonating with viewers heading into the holiday season. The increase is particularly noteworthy given the strong competition from Monday Night Football.

Competition Context

• NFL game (Dolphins vs. Rams): 3.38 rating
• NFL pre-show: 1.83 rating
• Raw maintained strong performance despite competing against both programs

Broader Perspective

• Show is performing 5% above the trailing four-week average of 1,496,000 viewers
• 18-49 demographic showing 7% improvement over four-week average
• First hour outperforming second hour suggests strong opening segments

Looking Ahead

Next week’s pre-taped episode features the return of a major WWE star from injury, which could potentially impact viewership numbers.
