Up against some stiff competition including the Fiesta Bowl on ESPN, this past Monday’s episode of Raw notched a 3.10 rating, which is up from a 2.93 rating the previous two weeks but down in terms of viewership.
Specifically, Raw averaged 4.44 million viewers total this week, down four percent from an average of 4.46 million one week prior.
Also, the first hour of Raw averaged 4.53 million viewers and then the second hour (featuring the big Chris Jericho reveal) alarmingly dropped to 4.34 million viewers.
Looks like Raw has a problem losing viewers from hour 1 to hour 2 regardless of who fills which time slots.
