As noted, the post-WrestleMania 29 WWE RAW on April 8th did a 3.43 cable rating with 4.61 million viewers. In comparison, last year's post-WrestleMania RAW did a 3.43 cable rating with 5.02 million viewers. The difference this year was 1.35 viewers per home, very low by WWE standards, compared to 1.48 viewers per home last year.

Dolph Ziggler winning the World Heavyweight Title and The Undertaker, The Shield, Kane and Daniel Bryan segment gained 460,000 viewers for a 3.76 quarter rating - the show high point. Zack Ryder, Santino Marella and R-Truth vs. 3MB plus a WrestleMania week recap video lost 329,000 viewers. Backstage stuff with Orton, Sheamus and Big Show plus Sheamus and Orton coming to the ring lost 110,000 viewers. Orton vs. Sheamus with the crowd going crazy gained 329,000 viewers in the 10pm timeslot for a 3.58 quarter rating.

Henry fucking draws big time. Why he isn't carrying RAW on his back I'll never know.

When are they going to realize nobody likes the Miz? Week in and week out his segments lose 100,000+ viewers.

He's shoved in jobber timeslots now.

He should be shoved off of a bridge tunga:

People naturally tune in for the overrun. Were probably expecting Rock or Brock and were pissed to see Ryback lol.

 

[Snowman1]

So, we were just reading Tons of Funk were draws. So much for that.

Of course the final segment drew massively, it's the two biggest draws on the roster facing each other.

Oh god yes, I'd be happy to do it and go to jail for doing it :dawg:

Ratings Henry doing work as always, great.

Anyone wondering why that Tons Of Funk match was scrapped from Mania, this breakdown gives a pretty good idea. It's also nice to see that the third biggest gain of the night was also the segment that I quit watching Raw during.

I never take much notice of the break downs in those quarters. I think they drop every single time. Sweet T is amazing.

 

[Danielson]

ziggler and bryan gained? Sounds about right.

Perhaps they do but still the magnitude of the drop is something to take note of, especially when it's apparently one of the worst rated segment in a while.

Plus they had the crowd too, how could people turn away after hearing the crowd during Sheamful/Boreton?
