Monday’s RAW broadcast drew a 2.48 (2.5) cable rating, the program’s worst rating for a non-holiday episode since October 27, 1997 (which drew a 2.3). This is below the rating for the Oct. 1, 2012 show, which garnered a 2.54 in comparison.

The three-hour program averaged 3.55 million viewers, beating a year-low of 3.50 million viewers on Oct. 1. RAW drew 3.58 million viewers in the first hour, 3.65 million in the second hour, and 3.43 million in third and final hour.

Viewership for the third hour was a year-low, below 3.47 million viewers on Oct. 1. It was the tenth consecutive week where third hour viewership was below viewership in the second hour.

It’s worth noting that RAW competed with a presidential debate, game seven of the NCLS baseball game and a Monday Night Football game featuring the Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears so the drop was expected. The presidential debate drew over 59 million viewers.

    punk will realize he cant draw, his character ir boring and dull, its been done before, says hes the best in the world but never wants to fight anyone how does that make sense, cena prob actually the best in the world and he cant even wrestle that great

      Punk’s getting stale because his promos speak louder than his matches, he has GOOD matches at best, but honestly isn’t as great as HE or some people claim he is…..compared to guys like HBK, Jericho, HHH, etc…he’s really just putting on average matches….and even his promos are becoming repetitive & stale, at times Heyman is more entertaining on the mic than he is…..needs to let his hair grow back & stop lookin’ like some punk white trash skater fag because that shit isn’t gonna last long, i don’t see Punk @ the main event level in years to come unless he gets put into better storylines with bigger stars IE: Cena/HHH/Lesnar……

    they need to improve the mid card storylines, its hard to site and watch raw for 3 hours and not get tired of the same old format

    Vickie needs to be taken off WWE TV, she’s retarded & boring….only
    reason they’re keeping her on is because of Eddy, but that ship has
    sailed, time for her old **** to go home & be w/ her kids…..not
    surprised by RAW rating at all, the show is too boring & they’re
    putting way too much focus & TV time on Kane/Bryan….they’re
    already getting stale & haven’t even wrestled on PPV yet….RAW
    needs a major change, new set, new look, etc….and get rid of dumb
    gimmicks like Slater’s stupid group & Tensai’s fat boring ****

    The move to 3 hrs was a bad idea IMO. No one wants to sit through 3 hrs of a tv show. It was ok when we only had 3 and 4 hour PPV’s. Now we have a way too long tv show that no one cares about for at least an hour.

    WWE creative needs to bring in some younger minds that know what people nowadays like. I know WWE is trying bring in more kid viewers by being PG. But if they brought in younger minds to creative and let there be a little more violence, then their ratings will rise.

    I know personally I turned it off as soon as they announced Vickie in whatever stupid role they made up for her. Vince needs to either listen to the fans or step down and appoint someone that will put a show on that the fans want to see. I saw this coming a month ago and was just waiting for my reason to move on from WWE.

    I think they try to convince HBK or eric bischoff to run raw
