WWE Raw rating: The rating flops against stiff competition from the networks and Monday Night Football

Monday's WWE Raw drew a 2.8 overall rating with an average of 3.93 million viewers. The first hour of the show scored a 2.77 rating, while the second hour increased to a 2.82 rating.

Powell's POV: WWE faced stiff competition in the form of many network television show debuts or season premieres, along with a Monday Night Football game involving the Super Bowl champions. Nevertheless, this is a lousy rating for WWE, and it's not like the other shows that viewers opted to watch are going away anytime soon.
