As usual, RAW saw a dip in ratings for its Labor Day episode. Monday’s show drew a 1.07 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 3.069 million viewers. Those numbers are down 9% and 10% from last week’s 1.17 demo rating and 3.413 million viewers, and represent the lowest numbers for the show since the August 16th episode brought in a 1.07 and 2.915 million viewers.
On the plus side for WWE, the drop is slightly less than what last year’s Labor Day episode did; the September 7th, 2015 episode was off by 9% and 13% from the week before. However, historically it isn’t a temporary drop; the arrival of the new fall season usually keeps the show at around or below the Labor Day numbers.
Raw ranked #4 among cable originals for the night behind the Ole Miss vs. Florida State college football game on ESPN (2.98 demo rating/8.354 million viewers), the ESPN post-game show (2.25 rating/5.733 million) and Love & Hip-Hop Hollywood on VH-1 (1.11 rating/2.216 million). The hourly ratings were as follows:
8 PM: 1.18 demo rating (3.350 million viewers)
9 PM: 1.05 demo rating (3.066 million viewers)
10 PM: 0.98 demo rating (2.792 million viewers)
