The final Raw episode of 2020 averaged 1.769 million viewers on Monday night, up 4.7 percent from last week. 

The show opened with 1.886 million viewers in hour one, Raw’s strongest opening hour since November 23. It was also the best viewership Raw has done since that November 23 post-Survivor Series episode.

This Monday’s Raw dropped to 1.783 million viewers in hour two and to 1.638 million viewers in the third hour. The 13.2 percent drop from the first to third hour was an above average drop but slightly better than last week. 

Raw drew a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demo, down 1.9 percent from last week. With the exception of the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots and NFL pre-game coverage, Raw beat everything on cable in the demo. Raw was 22nd for the night in terms of total viewers. 

Year-over-year, Raw was down 27.3 percent in overall viewers and 32.5 percent in the demo.

This week was the final Monday Night Football game of the NFL season. Next Monday’s Legends Night edition of Raw should produce one of Raw’s better numbers of 2021.

Here’s a look at the last 10 weeks of Raw viewership by hour, along with the overall 18-49 demo number for each week:
