raw Legends was not loaded on January 30, as it had been the week before Raw XXX. Outside of the video package, it was also missing The Bloodline – also known as the most important storyline in wrestling. It was the traditional start of the road to WrestleMania, as each of the people who won their Royal Rumble matches over the weekend announced who they’d face off at Showcase of the Immortals in Greater Los Angeles on April 1-2.

So how will you do in the rankings?

According to Showbuzz DailyThe Royal Rumble Fallout show was watched by 2,114,000 people per hour, with 0.64 between 18-49 years old. These numbers aren’t quite as great as Raw XXX (about 10% and 9% less, respectively), but they’re still impressive. For the second week in a row, Raw was the highest rated show on all of television on Mondays — take that El Senor de los Cielos (The Telemundo TV series that tied SmackDown on Friday before was second to Raw last night with a . 62).

Even better, Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston points out that this means Raw fared better in January 2023 than it did a year ago. Which, as you can see, is not the trend across all wrestling shows, and certainly not for all TV shows:

And Cody Rhodes is back, so you know those hourly bookings are going to be awesome!

first hour: 2.22 million / .66
two o’clock: 2.17 million / .65
three o’clock: 1.96 million / .60

This is the beginning of the most important period in WWE this year. We’ll see if they continue next Monday.
