WWE rating increases with John Cena's return and Jeff Hardy's unadvertised comeback

WWE Raw drew a 3.3 rating on Monday, which is up from the 3.2 rating the show drew last week. Although the rating is in line with the average rating the last five shows have drawn, it is the first time the rating has increased since late last month.

Powell's POV: It's hard to say whether Hardy's return had any impact on the rating since his appearance was unadvertised. The return of Cena didn't hurt. Although the show didn't increase by much, it's a small victory for WWE in that it stopped the bleeding.
