RAW got a 3.48 this week (3.46 and 3.49), down from last week's 4.08, with an average of 4,857,500 viewers.

kinda hard to compare the ratings though, as I'm sure last week grabbed quite a few more people than the usual episode

3.5 is still up very much from the weeks before the 15h ann show
Edit-Actually it's only up from the week before. I'm looking forward to Monday Night Football being over and seeing what effect that has on the ratings. IMO the product is much much better then the last two years at this time, yet, the ratings really don't say that.

This is a bad rating in my opinion, well, I shouldn't say bad. It's the best of the worst. To me, Raw should usually average 3.5 to 4.5 if they want to feel successful, in my opinion. And it seems like a pretty big drop. So last week's show did have something the fans wanted to see, but then again, it's not always a good idea to go with constant nostalgia.

Agreed on most counts, personally I think it's a very down period for wrestling as well, given what's gone on in the past year.

And their ratings have consistently been 2.5-3.0.

What's the total viewership like on Smackdown! compared to RAW. I remember reading a month or two ago that one episode of Smackdown! actually had a slightly higher total viewership than RAW, even though the rating was lower. I guess that would be because of the CW being available in more total households or something.

More people usually watch SmackDown than RAW, simply due to the CW being available in more houses. Though the Hispanic community usually spike it, mainly to see Rey.

It just shows that RAW wasn't able to keep the viewers that they got who tuned in for the 15th anniversary show.

Eh. Even with the low(er) ratings, will the show EVER be cancelled? Doubtful. Expect to see this show on TV until McMahon closes the doors. Which will probably be never.
