Monday Night Raw Breaks A Decades Old Record

The bottom of the barrel. Monday Night Raw has been on the air for over twenty seven years now. The show has seen things come and go over the decades and things have gone all over the place from good to bad and everywhere in the middle. Things have been rocky as of late though and as it turns out, is has actually now reached a place that is has never touched in its history.

Over the last few months, everything has been different for Monday Night Raw due to the Coronavirus. The disease has meant that there can be not fans in attendance for the shows and that has caused a lot of problems every Monday night. Fans at home have not seemed all that interested in watching and now things have actually reached a new low point for the show.

According to Showbuzz Daily, this week’s Monday Night Raw set an all time record low in viewership, including all holiday shows. The show drew 1.686 million viewers over the three hours, beating the previous low mark of 1.775 million viewers from December 24, 2018. The three hours drew 1.807, 1.691 and 1.560 million viewers, good for #3, #4 and #6 in the 18-49 cable ratings for the night.

Odds are you didn’t see this. Check out the better moments of last night’s show:

Opinion: You had to know that something like this was coming. The numbers have been getting lower and lower and they had to reach a new low at some point. I know there are a few asterisks due to the Coronavirus, but at the same time, it is still Monday Night Raw and WWE keeps pushing the idea that they are still going. I’m not sure how much further they are going to fall, but something needs to be fixed. I just don’t know how long that is going to take, and that’s a big problem.
