Monday’s episode of WWE RAW scored a 1.97 rating, which is up from the 1.88 rating the show did last week.
The show did 2,684 million viewers, which is down from the 2.690 million average the show did last week. Hour one averaged 2,734 million viewers, hour two drew 2.686 million viewers, and the final hour of the show averaged 2.633 million viewers. This is the lowest non-holiday rated show since the pre-Attitude era days. I think WWE should seriously consider the 3-hour format.
RAW ranked #4 in the top 150 shows on cable for Monday night. The show had to go up the NFL football game on ESPN. The Chicago Bears vs. the Philadelphia Eagles game drew 12.137 million viewers.
The competition for WWE will not be any easier this coming Monday night as the show will go up against the first Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
