How WWE RAW viewership for July 26th 2021 did against the Olympic games
The July 26th 2021 edition of WWE RAW drew 1.814 million viewers with an 0.49 rating in the 18-49 demo. Hour one drew 1.871 million, hour two drew 1.839 million, and the third hour drew 1.733 million viewers. This week’s RAW had competition from the Olympic games.
Last week’s RAW, which was the first episode of RAW with paying fans in attendance since March 9th 2020, drew 1.923 million viewers with an 0.57 rating in the 18-49 demo. This was the highest total viewership for RAW since the night after Wrestlemania 37.
The final episode of RAW at the Thunderdome drew 1.609 million viewers with an 0.43 rating in the 18-49 demo.
A key thing to note if Raw ratings aren't good, not just the Olympics but also on the West Coast it aired at 5 p.m. instead of the usual 8 p.m., and WWE nor USA promoted that at all. Even I had no idea.

Not a bad number. I expected lower, had predicted 1.75 million.
