Hour 1: 1.885 million (0.53)
Hour 2: 1.855 million (0.53)
Hour 3: 1.741 million (0.50)
Average: 1.827 million (0.52)

Up 57,000 and 0.01 from last week. Probably expected better hyping up Cena's return, but the hours were the top three shows for the night so doubt they mind much.

Wow, Cena didn't nudge the number at all. Usually he's good for 2 million. I think everyone saw the Theory feud coming though and that might've mattered

I guess Family Shit didn't equal ratings either

Cena has always been a fantastic live event + merch seller but doesn't seem to make much impact on TV ratings and PPV buys.

Nah, Like you say you can't blame declining ratings or lower than expecting ratings one 1 person, No point in doing that now.

Would liked to have seen it higher but they were still #1 on the night. Must of been lower viewership on cable as a whole last night.

My post was definitely in jest, at this point ratings are interesting to look at but overall don't or shouldn't matter cataclysmically week to week

I am shocked Cena didn't pop the number more though

It just seems to me that Raw's ratings have settled in to what they’re going to be. They’re almost always in that 1.5-.8 range. There might be the occasional spike, but those generally occur for shows that have a theme, like Legend's Night. People are t goingto sit through a three hour show, when all they care about is one aspect of it. Just wait a bit and it’ll be on YouTube.

We're just gonna have to accept the fact that three hours weekly, even if some parts of it are compelling, is just too much to ask for people to sit through on a regular basis in full.

Not saying it's a bad rating at all so my comment isn't indicative of that, but I kind of get the impression that the Mania hype isn't hitting the fanbase as much as in the past.

This is probably the hottest buzz-wise the company’s been in a long time. Carried mostly by the Bloodline storyline of course. I can see maybe some of the women’s and undercard matches not being as hot, but there are still a few others that are like Paul-Rollins, Cena-Theory, Dom-Rey .

I expected a bigger number with Cena plus Sami/Jimmy.
