The 5/18 edition of Raw, featuring the aftermath of WWE Payback, the return of Stephanie McMahon and the debut of Kevin Owens, as well as a very good show overall, was up this week, scoring 3,999,000 viewers. That is the highest audience for the show since April 20th and up from last week's 3,687,000 viewers.
The first two hours garnered just over 4 million viewers each, before dropping to just under 4 million in the third hour. WWE should be very happy with that number.
