This week’s episode of Raw, which featured Kevin Owens’ Universal Title victory celebration & Clash of Champions 2016 main event announcement, drew 3.07 million viewers.
This is down from last week’s 3.41 million viewers. Last week’s show was headlined by a Fatal 4 way elimination match to determine the new Universal Champion (which Owens won).
This means SmackDown Live has lost the viewership war against Raw for another week.
