Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte To Wrestle Again at WWE Roadblock, RAW Viewership This Week

| Nov 30, 2016 09:42 PM EST

Charlotte attends WWE Superstars Dolph Ziggler And Charlotte Meet & Greet at JCPenney on August 18, 2016 in New York City.

This week's Monday Night Raw that features the women's championship match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks reportedly draws 3.110 million viewers over three hours, which was a jump from the fall-out of Survivor Series (3.002 million viewers).

Marc Middleton provided details of the story via Lords of Pain:

"For this week's show, the first hour drew 3.163 million viewers, the second hour drew 3.130 million viewers and the final hour drew 3.039 million viewers.

RAW was #4 on cable for the night in viewership, behind the NFL's Monday Night Football, The O'Reilly Factor and The Five. RAW was #5 in the 18-49 demographic, behind the NFL, SportsCenter, Black Ink Crew and Love & Hip-Hop."

RAW general manager Mick Foley booked the match that would end the current rivalry run between Charlotte and Sasha Banks. After their first program ended in a double count-out, Foley revised the stipulation to a anywhere falls match and it would be the main event of the show.

Charlotte dominated her rival before a packed home crowd at Time Warner Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina. However, Banks' incredible resilience paid off in the end as she found a way to apply a modified Bank Statement on Charlotte (using the metal rails) for a submission victory.

Banks' victory marks her third reign as the RAW Women's Champion. This week's Monday Night RAW also marks the first time in 12 years two women close out a show on RAW.  Charlotte and Banks also were on the main event of Hell in a Cell last October.

Speculation:

The ongoing rivalry between Charlotte and Banks is not yet over as they will reportedly do it again in the upcoming RAW pay-per-view at Road Block: End of the Line. Not only the series is currently leveled at 3-3, Charlotte has also a rematch clause to exercise.
