#5 Raw's viewership increases for the third week in a row
This week's episode of WWE's flagship show, Monday Night Raw, opened up with The Beast in the Bank Brock Lesnar and his advocate Paul Heyman. The two were celebrating Lesnar's big win at the Money in the Bank PPV where the latter won the Money in the Bank contract. They were soon interrupted by the current Universal Champion Seth Rollins and WWE Champion Kofi Kingston who demanded Lesnar to cash-in his contract on them that very night.
The fall-out episode also saw the return of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, who introduced a new championship. Last week's pre-taped episode of Raw reportedly increased by over 100,000 viewers compared to the preceding week and this week's Raw viewership reportedly increased by 7% from last week's go-home episode, making it the third viewership increase in a row for the red brand for three weeks straight.
The following is the hourly breakdown for the 20th May edition of Raw, as per reports.
Hour one: 2.681 million
Hour two: 2.583 million
Hour three: 2.299 million
