WWE RAW on Monday night was one of the better editions of the show that we have seen this year thus far, and now that the TV ratings are in, it definitely showed as the numbers were up from last week.

On a show that featured a lot of excitement, including the return of Brock Lesnar, it’s no shock really that the television viewership took a climb.

Here’s a look at the breakdown from this past Monday night:

Hour one: 4.25 million
Hour two: 4.52 million
Hour three: 4.52 million

Overall the show averaged 4.43 million viewers, which is up from 4.15 last week.

Aside from the return of Lesnar, the show also featured a huge match to start things off with Roman Reigns having to take on both Kane and Randy Orton. Oh yeah, and then there was the whole Stephanie McMahon getting arrested segment, which no doubt had people changing the channel once they caught wind of it.

But, the thing is, there were a lot of people that knew Lesnar was going to return on Monday night, which could be a good reason for the high number. The key going foirward is to see if the numbers either stay in this area, or go up at all.
