WWE Raw rating: How did the King of the Ring format perform in the ratings?

Monday's three-hour WWE Raw television show drew a 3.1 overall rating with 4.76 million viewers. The show scored a 3.4 rating (3.38 actual) in the traditional two hours, which is up from the 3.3 that Raw earned last week.

The first hour of the show scored a 2.65 rating with an average of 4.025 million viewers. The second hour posted a 3.35 with 5.18 million viewers. The third hour drew a 3.41 rating with 5.069 million viewes.

Powell's POV: The three-hour Old School edition of Raw scored a 3.04 overall rating with a 3.2 rating for the traditional two hours, so the ratings are up from that show as well. Part of the increase is likely attributable to the lousy Monday Night Football matchup between the Cardinals and Niners, which only fantasy football owners and apparently Derek Anderson could love despite the fact that his team suffered a lopsided defeat.
