- This week's edition of WWE RAW drew a 3.2 cable rating, with 4,622,000 viewers. The show did a huge 3.45 (3.5) cable rating, with 4,981,000 viewers in the normal timeslot of 9-11EST. That is way up from the last few weeks. The show did hours of 2.73 (2.7), 3.34 (3.3) and 3.55 (3.6). It's safe to say that Vince McMahon was a big hit. WWE's theory has always been that when ratings are down .... you bring back a McMahon!

Awesome rating even with the timeslot difference. :eek:tunga:

/edit new Update below.

As noted earlier, last night's episode of RAW say a huge bounce. The three-hour episode scored a 3.24 (3.2) cable rating for the full three hours and a 3.46 for the standard two hours. The overall rating was the highest since the night after Extreme Rules, while the two-hour rating was the highest since the night after the Royal Rumble. Last week's rating was a 2.92.

The show averaged 4.62 million viewers for all three hours and 4.98 million for the standard two hours, up from 4.28 million last week. It is the third-most watched two-hour Raw block of the year behind the night after WrestleMania and the night after the Royal Rumble. The show did hours of 3.9 million, 4.88 million and 5.08 million, a good sign as the viewership consistently grew throughout the show.

The show ranked #1 among overall viewers on cable TV for the night and #2 in the key male demos, behind Pawn Stars. There was no major sports competition.

Not too surprised, Vince would always draw. Twitter was on fire for Vince, every time he was on he had something to do with the #1 trend.

I really stand by a summer feud surrounding Vince McMahon making an anti-hero face or a mega-heel.

Vince is one of the biggest draws in WWE, but it's so good that he can step to the side and let the actual talent shine. It's almost like he knows something about the wrestling business.

3.2 up from what? I know it was in the 2s but can't remember exactly. Wasn't it like a 2.7?

It was either a 2.7 or a 2.9, not sure.

"There was no major sports competition" is probably the key words from that article. Isn't a 3.2 around their usual average rating except for the past couple of weeks?
