Viewership numbers for the Feb. 26 edition of Monday Night Raw are in and there is a slight decrease.

Raw this past Monday was able to bring in an average of 3.180 million viewers. This is down from the previous week, which took in 3.282 million. Last week’s show was praised for having the seven-man gauntlet match.

In the first hour of this week’s show, Raw was able to draw 3.407 million viewers. This too was down from last week’s hour one, which managed to attract 3.518 million. Hour two of the Feb. 26 edition did 3.249 million, while the third hour took in 2.884 million.

This week’s episode featured the Raw debut of Ronda Rousey. She was involved in a segment for the fallout of her Elimination Chamber contract signing. At the event, Rousey slammed Triple H onto a table. She was then slapped by Stephanie McMahon, who made a quick exit. Stephanie apologized to Rousey, but Triple H decked Kurt Angle with a sucker punch before it was all set and done.

Brock Lesnar was advertised for the show, but WWE ran an angle where the Universal champion “no-showed.” This allowed Roman Reigns to cut a shoot style promo that has been praised by fans and critics.
