How Was This Week’s WWE Raw Viewership Heading Into Hell in a Cell?

This week’s episode of WWE Raw, which featured Ronda Rousey in her first tag team match on the show, was also the final episode of Raw before this week’s WWE Hell in a Cell PPV.

The show also featured previously advertised big returns in WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley and Triple H, as well as more hype for this Sunday night’s PPV matches.

According to ShowBuzz Daily,  WWE Raw viewership this week averaged 2.740 million, which is down from last week’s 2.872 million viewers the show averaged on Labor Day.

This week’s WWE Raw viewership was likely going to take somewhat of a hit as Raw was up against the first two Monday Night Football games of the 2018 season, with the entire three hours of the show going up against The NFL. Overall, both NFL games averaged a total of around 19 million viewers, with the 7pm EST game topping the night as the most watched show on all of TV.

This week’s WWE Raw viewership ranked #6 in overall cable television for the night.

Below are several highlight videos from this week’s WWE Raw:
