A look at the ratings for last night’s post-Survivor Series WWE RAW!

After last week’s episode of Monday Night RAW saw a very minor increase heading into this past Sunday’s Survivor Series, the show was set to face arguably the biggest match-up of the NFL season head-to-head last night. Did the red brand have any shot at besting their numbers from last week (see last week’s ratings here)?

Last night’s ratings are in and RAW was in fact able to increase ratings for the second week in a row, jumping up 1.8% from last week with a 2.493 for the post-Survivor Series edition. Here’s a look at the last four weeks of numbers for the red brand:

• October 29th: 2.471
• November 5th: 2.441
• November 12th: 2.449
• November 19th: 2.493

So while the rating went up, surely Monday Night RAW couldn’t maintain their number five spot in the Cable Top 150 Rankings for the 18-49 demographic, right? The answer to that would be no, only because RAW actually moved up one spot to number four this week with the 8PM hour. Meanwhile, the 9PM and 10PM hours both clocked in at numbers six and seven respectively. Here are this week’s top five:

1. Monday Night Football – ESPN – 5.53
2. Monday Night Kickoff – ESPN – 1.77
3. SportsCenter (12AM) – ESPN – 1.47
4. Monday Night RAW – USA Network – 0.94
5. Love & Hip Hop Hollywood – VH1 – 0.91

EA’s Take: This is really surprising to me on a night where records were broken for Monday Night Football. Hell, I WANTED to tune into Rams/Chiefs more than I did RAW, so I thought for sure that would be reflected in ratings and possibly even a decrease in the 18-49 demographic. But nope! The red brand essentially holds strong on both fronts, a minor increase in rating and exactly the same in the 18-49 share from last week. Shame on me from going against my own post-PPV formula for ratings success.
