[Phenomenal1]

Monday's WWE Raw drew a 3.81 rating, which is down slightly from the 3.83 rating the show drew last week. Raw averaged 5.6 million viewers compared to the 5.86 million viewers that tuned in last week.

Good rating for such a trash show.

Rating breakdown.

As noted before, the February 28th episode of WWE's Monday Night RAW scored a 3.82 rating with 5.6 million viewers. Male viewership was up 70% this week and The Rock's interview was the high point with every demographic.

In a segment breakdown, the show opened at a 3.78 rating with Triple H's promo and attack on Sheamus. Evan Bourne's return vs. Sheamus lost 187,000 viewers while the segment with Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole and Jack Swagger gained 386,000 viewers back. This segment did well for that usual time in the show and ended up being the second-most watched segment this week with a 3.93 rating.

Randy Orton vs. Michael McGillicutty lost 95,000 viewers but the segment with Alex Riley, The Miz and John Cena coming out gained 67,000 back. There's been a trend in ratings where The Miz is put on a part of the show that usually draws but it's not drawing with him featured.

The Divas Battle Royal lost 308,000 viewers but The Rock's promo gained 482,000 back, to a 4.03 rating, in a segment of the show that usually loses viewers. The interview with Shawn Michaels and The Miz attacking Daniel Bryan lost 389,000 viewers. The Cena vs. Riley cage match gained 167,000 viewers in the overrun, ending at a 3.86. This is low for RAW's usual overrun.

The 3/7 edition of Raw did a strong 3.9 rating with 5,785,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.94 and 3.9 so that is three great numbers in a row leading into WrestleMania.

Another strong rating, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them break the 4.0 mark leading into the last few show leading into Mania.

Note from JR about the Raw rating:

The highest-rated segment was the one with Austin, JBL and Michael Cole. That segment drew a 4.4 rating.

RAW did hours of 3.94 and 3.9 this week with a 3.42 rating in the Males 18-49 demographic.

Also, The Daniel Bryan/Sheamus segment on RAW lost 1,102,000 viewers.

God damn and Bryan and Sheamus losing a million viewers that's crazy.

The 3/14 edition of Raw did a 3.6 rating, with 5,651,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.55 and 3.74. The rating is down a bit from recent weeks but their viewership stayed strong, actually doing better last night than the 3.8 from two weeks ago did.

- Last night's WWE Monday Night RAW drew a 3.3 cable rating with 5.1 million viewers, down from 3.64 (5.8 million viewers) last week. It's safe to say WWE isn't happy with the rating falling so close to Wrestlemania.

Not a good drop at all but pretty sure they will be in the 3.8 and higher range next week.

- As noted before, last week's Memorial Day edition of WWE RAW scored a 3.07 cable rating with 4.70 million viewers. Here's a segment-by-segment breakdown:

Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler lost 44,000 viewers from the opener while the segment with Alberto Del Rio talking about Big Show gained 41,000 back. Kelly Kelly & Eve Torres vs. The Bella Twins then gained 23,000 viewers.

Michael Cole and Alex Riley's segment, which led to The Miz and Riley brawling, gained 315,000 viewers. This is lower than usual for a top of the hour segment, bringing the rating to a 3.20. Rey Mysterio vs. CM Punk lost 213,000 viewers, which is actually better than usual for that time slot.

Kharma's speech gained 210,000 viewers, which is higher than usual for that time slot. Evan Bourne and Jack Swagger's rematch lost 53,000 viewers, which actually isn't bad for that time slot, considering the time of the segment and the two Superstars involved. The main event of R-Truth vs. John Cena gained 615,000 viewers, giving the show a 3.47 overrun rating.

Pretty nice that Kharma's seg gained so many viewers esp in a slot that usually doesn't gain that many.

This past Monday's 4th of July edition of WWE RAW, with the fallout from CM Punk's controversial promo, did a 2.4 cable rating with 3.717,000 viewers. This week's show did hours of 2.34 and 2.45.

The low rating can be blamed on RAW falling on the 4th of July holiday.

Very much expected with not only 4th of July but the fact that it was taped.
