Raw Ratings Breakdown 4/15

[Snowman1]

Monday's WWE Raw television show drew a 3.08 rating, down from the 3.45 rating the show drew the week before. Raw averaged 4.149 million viewers, down from the 4.61 million average from last week, as noted earlier today.

The April 15th episode of WWE RAW did a 3.07 cable rating with 4.14 million viewers, making it the least watched episode since the end of NFL season. The recent trend of low viewership per home, 1.36 for this week, also continued.

In the segment breakdown, the show started a bit weak for Big Show vs. Randy Orton and Sheamus with a 3.06 quarter rating. The segment with Brock Lesnar destroying 3MB gained 113,000 viewers. Kofi Kingston winning the United States Title from Antonio Cesaro lost 111,000 viewers. A replay of Dolph Ziggler’s title win from the week before lost 10,000 viewers. Ziggler’s interview with Zeb Colter, Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio coming out gained 241,000 viewers for a 3.23 quarter rating in the 9pm timeslot.

Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. Titus O’Neil and Darren Young plus the Ryback promo gained 33,000 viewers. R-Truth vs. Wade Barrett lost 397,000 viewers. Santino Marella and The Great Khali vs. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow lost 84,000 viewers. Fandango coming out at 10pm gained just 69,000 viewers for a 2.95 quarter rating – a very bad gain for the top of the hour.

Ziggler vs. Swagger lost 232,000 viewers and the CM Punk interview gained 344,000 viewers, a very good gain for that part of the show. Kaitlyn vs. Nikki Bella gained 20,000 viewers. The final segment with John Cena, Ryback and The Shield gained 647,000 viewers for a 3.53 overrun rating.

First part was prowrestling.net, second part was PWMania quoting Meltzer.

Really odd to see two well drawing segments (Ziggler and Punk) being followed by ratings increases for filler.

I'm surprised the Diva's match gained xD. Though it does have Kaitlyn <3

Punk draws again. hew:

 

[Senhor Perfect]

Nobody wants to see Kofi, so let's put a title on him. Brilliant!

 

[Stopspot]

Hell No drawing? Not that surprised. Not surprised about most of the draws, only shocked by the divas gaining.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'm just surprised that awful show didn't peak during the opening segment and slowly lose from their. Literally nothing of interest in that dog shit show.

Maybe a lot of people fell asleep watching it so got counted as a view?

This might actually be Vince's plan for getting viewers

30k gain isn't a draw.

Hell No drawing isn't a surprise, but once Prime Time Jobbers showed up you knew this segment was filler that we've seen god knows how many times. For it to gain on an already big gain that Ziggler created is pretty impressive.

Divas gaining viewers huh. Weird. Other than that nothing out of the usual.

 

[Lockard 23]

I don't usually make much out of these breakdowns, honestly. There's some who draw well one week but not so the next, and vice versa. Sometime they draw well in bad slots, sometimes they don't. Unless someone is constantly gaining viewers week after week (The Rock) or constantly losing viewers (Sheamus), I don't think these tell us that much.

Raw was not good. the ownly thing that was good was Brock and CM Punk!
