The key to “Raw’s” success was the first hour, which opened with 1.537 million viewers and 0.47 in 18-49 for QH1 for a promo battle between Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. After ebbing and flowing in QH’s 2, 3, and 4, the show would hit its high point in QH5, when an in-ring segment featuring GUNTHER, Ludwig Kaiser, and Xavier Woods drew 1.581 million viewers and 0.50 in 18-49.

As has been the case for “Raw” recently, however, the show trended downward as it went along, only rising above 1.500 million viewers again in QH8, which drew 1.503 million and 0.46 in 18-49. The show would sink to its low point in QH10 when the conclusion of Awesome Truth vs. Judgment Day and two promo segments drew 1.241 million and 0.40 in 18-49.

As for the much-hyped main event between Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal for the WWE World Heavyweight Title, the match would gain some viewers back, drawing 1.312 million viewers and 0.42. Even still, the match served as the third lowest QH of the evening in both total viewers and 18-49.
