WWE management must be very happy after seeing the viewership numbers for the post-WrestleMania edition of Monday Night Raw.

Raw was watched by 3,921,000 viewers so it’s clear that viewers tuned in to see what the fallout would be after Mania. That number is way up from last week’s 3,357,000 viewers and it was the second-highest rated Raw of the year behind the Raw 25th anniversary special that drew 4,530,000 viewers.

The show was also surpassed last year’s post-WrestleMania show that drew 3,767,000 viewers.

Here is the hourly breakdown:

Hour 1 – 4,098,000 viewers

Hour 2 – 4,069,000 viewers

Hour 3 – 3,597,000 viewers

There was a big drop in the third hour but it was still above the average for all three hours on most weeks. WWE is hoping for another high rating next week for the Superstar Shake-Up.

Between the increased mainstream coverage for WrestleMania, the increased WWE Network subscription numbers, and the Raw ratings, Vince McMahon is having a good week. The recent quarterly financial report indicates that 2018 will be the most profitable year in company history.
