Vince McMahon Appearance & Survivor Series Fallout Sees WWE Raw Ratings Rise

The November 22 2021 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw saw a rise in both overall viewership and the crucial 18-49 demographic. 

Centred around the theft of Vince McMahon's 'Cleopatra Golden Egg' and all the fallout from this past weekend's Survivor Series pay-per-view, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics notes that this week's Monday Night Raw averaged 1,698,000 viewers on the night.

This is a decent increase from the viewership that tuned into the 15 November Raw, which averaged at 1,584,000 viewers. 

In the key 18-49 category, Raw scored a 0.49 rating, which equates to 644,000 viewers. The same category for last week's show scored a 0.42 rating (544,000 viewers).

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer notes that Raw finished sixth on cable in terms of the demographic but the show in general trended stronger with teenage viewers and the 18-34 audience. 

It is also noted that Raw retained the audience for the third hour with more success than typical, which was likely down to the advertised WWE Championship match between Big E and Austin Theory.
