One big thing: RAW viewership rebounds
WWE’s Monday Night RAW saw a viewership increase for its July 22 episode, reversing recent downward trends.
By the numbers:
• 1,793,000 viewers tuned in, up from 1,669,000 the previous week
• 0.59 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, improving from 0.56
Key highlights:
• Dominik Mysterio expressed his disdain for Liv Morgan
• CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre confirmed for SummerSlam
Why it matters
The uptick in viewership suggests WWE’s creative direction may be resonating with fans, potentially building momentum heading into SummerSlam, one of the company’s biggest annual events.
The big picture
While a single week’s increase is promising, WWE faces ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent viewership in an increasingly competitive entertainment landscape.
What to watch:
• Will RAW sustain this viewership boost in coming weeks?
• How will the confirmed SummerSlam match impact future ratings?
The bottom line
This week’s ratings increase offers a glimmer of hope for WWE, but the company must continue to deliver compelling content to solidify its position in the ever-changing world of sports entertainment.
