This week, Monday Night RAW brought the power of 4 million viewers back to USA Network in prime time.

Monday Night RAW drew a 4.7 rating (up from 3.2 last week on Spike TV), according to the latest Coverage Household Ratings information.

That’s 48 percent higher viewership.

RAW climbed to a 5.0 as Stone Cold Stunned the entire McMahon family. It was a segment that reminded WWE’s fans just what USA programming looks like. The three-hour spectacular also featured the anticipated return of Triple H, a crowd-pleasing WWE Championship Match, an incredible Ladder Match, a show-stopping WWE Iron Man Match and a showdown between members of the RAW and SmackDown rosters.

WWE Homecoming showcased unparalleled star power that included Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, Mick Foley, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and a host of WWE Legends.

The buzz from the show lasted throughout the night, and its ripple effect led to WWE.com's biggest traffic day in recent history.

USA Network enjoyed a marked ratings increase in the time slot now re-occupied by RAW; WWE’s 10 p.m. hour delivered household numbers that tripled the average for programming airing there the prior four weeks.

“The successful return of Monday Night RAW was a great team effort between USA and WWE,” said Gary Davis, WWE Vice President, Corporate Communications. “We wanted to create a phenomenal debut for our fans, and the viewing public responded in a big way. We greatly appreciate that support. It's good to be home again on USA.”
