Monday's WWE Raw drew a 3.42 rating, down from the 3.46 rating the show drew last week in the traditional two-hour slot (the full three hours scored a 3.24 last week). Raw averaged 4.96 million viewer compared to the 4.492 million average for the traditional two hours last week.

Powell's POV: I failed to mention last week that the NBA Playoffs are no longer running head to head with Raw, so that's definitely helping WWE's cause. That said, the fact that the rating remained above the average for the year is certainly encouraging. WWE should be free of regular sports competition until the NFL season begins in September (along with some preseason games on August).
