Worst 3rd hour drop since Heyman took over and wouldn't be surprised if the tag team turmoil match was the reason people tuned out in droves since it was barely entertaining.
Also didn't help nothing really interesting happened in the 3rd hour besides Cesaro vs Cedric. |

How those attitude era ratings show how many people have switched off wrestling completely.

Considering it was a holiday and the final week before they get hammered by football, those are decent numbers. 3rd hour having a lower drop and also being stronger than the week before helped a lot.

Damn... Shockingly low
Interesting that a meaningless 10 man tag team match doesn't draw in the 3rd hour |

Last year's show against the first Monday Night Football games drew 2,740,000... So this show with Stone Cold doing this terribly is not a good sign for the rest of the season.........

I believe this might be the lowest rating for a non-holiday episode of RAW. The previous low rating for a non-holiday ep was 2.16 IIRC

Considering the effort done to stack the show, that has to be the biggest swing-and-miss by WWE in a while.
What hurt WWE a lot was the Texans vs. Saints game being very competitive and had a hot finish. |

That’s pretty brutal. Raw is about to get less important too. People say it is going to be fine, but WWE have always only been able to favor one, and NXT will be prioritized. It will be interesting. But Heyman might be left to his own devices more.

Sounds like RAW could bounce back a little next week in that case....curious to see if NXT gets a big push/character intro videos on RAW next week ahead of it's debut or if they keep the same commercials they have been airing.

Itd be crazy to think that Smackdown on Friday on fox could get better ratings than RAW. I can see over 2 million for SD on fox

Interesting observations on YT metrics for WWE
Big names from the past not passing 2 million within a day (Austin/Taker). Almost as if WWE is bringing back older stars too often. Bray vids on YT not passing 2 million within a day either...Bray from RAW currently at 430k views. |

Came pretty close to matching RAW this week which is more of an indication of how badly RAW did this week than Smackdown having a great show (it didn't).

It’s a unique strategy to make SD the A-show by shaving half-a-million viewers off Raw.

U.S. TV Ratings system getting slightly changed for TV, will it show a slight increase for #WWE ?

Probably but doubt WWE is getting as high of an increase Nielsen is predicting for sports. Places like bars are more likely going to have football than RAW on during the season.
Even if RAW got the 11% increase, that puts this week's RAW at 2.3 million and still well below last week's numbers. |

As far as Monday Night Football competition goes, last night was probably their best chance to benefit for the rest of the year. It was a pretty bad game between two perennial bad teams that aren’t known as major ratings draws.

The PPV bump is good but that 3rd hour is still a big killer for RAW. If it wasn't for USA Network being terrible at creating new hit shows, that 3rd hour should have been junked with the new tv deal.
Also 90 Day Fiance pretty much replaced Love & Hip Hop as the new random show that gives WWE the most trouble for rankings. |

USA Network and WWE have to be very pleased.
Managed to be at the level and maybe even a bit more than what Suits was doing this season and its a strong base number for the series going forward. Considering the issues the Network had at the start of the 2nd hour, probably had around 750k to a million people logging in at the same time. Also ended up being over 300k more than the NXT special on USA Network a couple years ago for some comparisons. |

One of those Good/Bad type weeks but where the bad outweighs the good.
The good being that the show itself was pretty good and the overall drop was very small. The bad being the numbers started at and were all lower than last week and maybe could have generated a bit more interest had WWE actually bothered to hype up this week as a "season finale." Then you have the lingering issues of all the damage caused by Vince's stupid rules and Heyman being a mixed bag in terms of improving show quality. |

NXT ended up with slightly over 1 million viewers (1.006 million) but also dropped from 4th to 8th in the rankings compared to last week for the USA Network hour.
