RAW’s rating was 3.15. Hour 1 did a 3.0 (against hour two of Impact) and hour 2 did 3.3 (after Impact ended). Thus far, this is the lowest rated Raw of the year.
Impact did a .86 rating, getting hours of .91 (before Raw, clearly a good idea) and .82 (against RAW). The overrun, featuring the Knockouts strip tease, did a .97 rating and pulled the second hour rating up from what would have been a .78. Apparently T and A still sells.
The NCAA Championship opposed both shows, likely lowering the ratings of each, as it drew 19-million viewers.
