WWE Raw ratings: Did Raw shoot up without Olympics competition?
Aug 14, 2012 - 04:48 PM |
Monday's WWE Raw television show drew a 2.84 rating, down from the 3.08 rating the show drew the last two weeks. Raw drew 3.79 million viewers in the first hour, 4.252 million viewers in hour two, and 4.354 million viewers in the third hour.
Powell's POV: The timing for the SummerSlam go-home show was perfect as it was the first Monday after the Olympics concluded, but that didn't help in the ratings. Raw did go against a snoozer football game on ESPN. Even so, this has to be disappointing news for WWE, as it's the lowest number the show has done since the expansion to three hours. The first hour dragged the show down, but even the traditional two-hour rating was down to a 2.93.
