This Week's WWE RAW Rating Posts Low Numbers

- The September 27th episode of WWE’s Monday Night RAW drew a pitiful 2.37 rating – down a sharp 15% from last week’s year-low number. RAW averaged 3.80 million viewers over the course of the show. The first hour drew 3.72 million viewers and the second hour had 3.88 million.

The 2.37 for Monday show is the lowest rating for a regular episode of RAW since October 27, 1997 – almost 13 years ago – before the Montreal Screwjob kicked off the Attitude Era.

Actually, the numbers were almost the same as last week. There was some kind of mix up on the numbers and here is why:

Quote :

Wade Keller sent me the following which clears up any confusion over the 2.37 rating we reported via PWTorch.com yesterday:
"Our source's company switched from Coverage Area to Total U.S. Ratings without warning (there have always been two sets of ratings, which is why USA Today's ratings are always lower than the ones we run), so we received the same demo chart we always receive, but the numbers aren't apples-to-apples. So the Total U.S. Rating was a 2.4 (2.37), but that actually was the same as last week, which was also a Total U.S. rating of 2.4. The apples-to-apples comparison is 2.8 last week and 2.7 this week." - Wade Keller

I think that pre-tapped Raw's are always going to hurt the numbers. What happened on Raw was known for 7 days before it aired and I think that will always hurt the numbers.
