WWE Raw Ratings For July 3 Episode Revealed

With many people in the United States preparing for the Independence Day celebrations, the July 3 edition of Monday Night Raw saw a dip in viewership. Wrestlenomics has reported that this week's Raw averaged 1.828 million viewers and a 0.49 rating in the key 18-49 demographic, which was estimated to be 634,000 viewers.

Viewership was down seven percent in total viewership from last week and down 20 percent in the 18-49 demo. The demo rating on July 3 was one of the lowest of the year, but that has largely been attributed to the July 4 preparations.

Raw peaked between 10 pm and 10:15 pm ET for the second half of the Rhea Ripley vs. Natalya match, post-match happenings with Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, and a Tommaso Ciampa backstage promo. Ripley vs. Natalya has been widely praised and WWE management were said to be very happy with the match.

Elsewhere on Monday Night Raw, there were further issues between The Judgment Day as Damian Priest looked to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, only for Finn Balor to attack Seth Rollins and allow the World Heavyweight Champion to escape. Brock Lesnar also made his return to rekindle his programme with Cody Rhodes.
