WWE Raw rating: Did John Cena covering a nearly naked Michael Cole in JR's BBQ Sauce lead to a better rating?

Monday's WWE Raw television show drew a 2.92 rating, up from the 2.72 rating the show drew last week. Raw averaged 4.296 million viewers, up from the 3.91 average from last week.

Powell's POV: Raw (and everything else on cable) had its ass kicked by the highly successful "Hatfield's and McCoy's" mini-series that aired on History. It looks like things got close to normal for WWE this week, as the May 22 show drew a 3.04 rating with 4.3 million viewers.
