According to PWTorch.com, this week’s edition of WWE Raw finished with a 1.88 cable rating, which is the lowest non-holiday rating the show has drawn since 1996. The only show which took in a lower rating since then was the Fourth of July episode of Raw this year, which finished with a 1.87 cable rating. Had the Fourth of July episode done better, then this week’s WWE Raw would have been the lowest rated show in 20 years, and that is compared to when Raw was up against not only Monday Night Football, but also WCW which was outdrawing WWE every week due in part to the Hulk Hogan Bash at the Beach heel turn.
As we previously noted, this week’s Raw averaged 2.69 million viewers, with the final hour of the show taking in 2.52 million viewers. The third hour was the least watched hour, including holidays, since the show went to three hours.
