Despite the lowered numbers, “Monday Night Raw” was both the highest-rated and most-watched cable program for the night. WWE obtained a rating of 1.3 for adults aged 18 through 49, down from last week’s figure of 1.5.

Editor’s Note

WWE will always see a small dip in viewership when it doesn’t air live. Next week, numbers should be back up around four million.
