WWE Raw TV Ratings

-- February 9: WWE Raw fell to a 2.72 rating, down 10 percent from a 3.02 rating last week. Raw returned to the same level as a 2.71 rating on January 12 against the College Football Title game.

Raw was hit hard in the key male demographics of m18-34 & m18-49, plus general viewers a18-49. All three demos hit year-lows, possibly impacted by the premiere of "Better Call Saul" on AMC, which competed for WWE's audience and topped Raw in social media activity.

With no matches or segments or even WWE World champion Brock Lesnar advertised before Monday, Raw started in a weak position in the first hour and fell off the remainder of the show.

Hourly Break Down: 3.786 million first hour viewers, 3.670 million second hour viewers, and 3.518 million third hour viewers. All three hours registered year-low viewership.

Overall, Raw averaged 3.658 million viewers, down 15 percent from last week. The show extended two downward trends...
