WWE Television Ratings

I wanna see how many turned over when Jericho came on.

RAW still can't find the right balance of wrestling and talking. Really need to get a couple of new writers around to create must watch tv again because it is now so easy to skip RAW and just check the results later online.

I wanna see how many turned over when Jericho came on.

I watched it on DVR and I fast forwarded through it so I imagine plenty of other people will have too, or even changed the channel for a few mins while the segment was ongoing,

Due to the Holidays, we're just now getting the breakdown for the January 2nd RAW Supershow which featured the return of Chris Jericho. RAW that night did a 3.11 rating with 4.43 million viewers. Here's the breakdown:

The highest-rated segment of the night was the first quarter with John Cena and Kane which did a 3.36. From that, Daniel Bryan vs. Cody Rhodes lost 332,000 viewers while Wade Barrett vs. Santino Marella and the Sheamus vs. The Miz brawl gained 240,000 viewers.

Several backstage segments lost 431,000 viewers and CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Title in the 10pm timeslot gained 180,000 viewers – a bad number for that time. The return of Chris Jericho lost 82,000 viewers.

The match with Cena, Big Show and Zack Ryder vs. Mark Henry and Jack Swagger plus the ending segment with Kane coming from under the ring gained 383,000 viewers – which is a low number for the overrun. The main event saw Male Teens go from a 2.5 to 2.8 rating, Males 18-49 going from 2.9 to 3.3, Female Teens going from 0.9 to 1.0 and Women 18-49 staying at a 1.1 rating.

The return of Chris Jericho lost 82,000 viewers. The Cena & Zack Ryder & Big Show vs. Mark Henry & Swagger 3-on-2 elimination match and show ending angle with Cena, Kane and Ryder gained 383,000 viewers, weak for the overrun, doing a 3.33 rating. Main event saw Male teens go from 2.5 to 2.8, Male 18-49 from 2.9 to 3.3, Women teens from 0.9 to 1.0 and Women 18-49 stayed at 1.1.

I don't know if this goes here but thought I'd add this in.

Found this as well.

As noted before, the January 9th RAW Supershow did a 2.86 rating with 4 million viewers up against the Alabama vs. LSU BCS Championship football game which did a 16.22 rating and 24.21 million viewers.

In the segment breakdown, Sheamus and Santino Marella vs. Wade Barrett and Jinder Mahal lost 238,000 viewers from the opener. The Edge Hall of Fame announcement, a segment with Eve Torres and Zack Ryder plus Daniel Bryan vs. Kofi Kingston gained 100,000 viewers back.

Brodus Clay's debut vs. Curt Hawkins plus a segment with The Miz, Primo and Epico lost 82,000 viewers. In the 10pm timeslot, CM Punk vs. Jack Swagger did a 3.00 rating and gained 128,000 viewers – another bad number for 10pm.

Backstage segments with The Bellas, The Miz, Ricardo Rodriguez, John Cena and Zack Ryder plus the Four Horsemen Hall of Fame video lost 193,000 viewers. The segment with R-Truth & Rodriguez plus the brawl with The Miz and Chris Jericho's appearance lost 130,000 viewers.

The segment with Eve Torres in the ring, Kane coming out and Zack Ryder trying to save her by taking her to his car lost 544,000 viewers and did a 2.39 quarter rating. It's a bad sign when RAW loses over a half-million viewers before the main event. The main event of Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler and the end segment in the parking lot gained 640,000 viewers for a 2.84 overrun rating. This is about normal viewership for the overrun but the second-lowest rating going back to 1997.

During the Cena vs. Ziggler main event, Male Teens went from a 2.4 rating to a 2.6, Males 18-49 went from a 2.3 to a 2.6, Female Teens went from a 1.0 to a 1.2 and Females 18-49 went from a 0.8 to a 1.0 rating.

Jericho's appearance lost 130,000 viewers.

Kane coming out and Zack Ryder trying to save her by taking her to his car lost 544,000 viewers

lol "save_us_Y2J"

As expected really, both segments were horrible.

 

[Heisenberg]

The thing that WWE need to understand is that a lot of people DVR the show, watch online and what not which is why they get low ratings compared to what they used to. Most people feel the show won't be great weekly and there is no need to quickly watch it live for 2 hours. Where they can DVR and watch it whenever they want and control what parts they watch and skip through.
WWE's writing has been terrible as of late.

544,000 viewers before the main event? Wow.. Zack Ryder is a huge draw!

 

[Troy]

It wasn't Ryder it was just a terrible angle. The week before people tuned in for Ryder and Kane but the angle throughout the night on RAW was terrible and it is no wonder that people changed the channel. Book a normal storyline rather than a changing tyre storyline and it would have drawn better.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I enjoyed the hilarity and the inaccuracies of the B-Level Horror film WWE put out through out Raw.

-- This past Friday's WWE SmackDown on SyFy scored a 2.18 (2.2) cable rating with 3.13 million viewers, both up from the previous week.

-- Trendrr.TV reports that WWE RAW was #4 on the chart for most socially active cable TV shows on Monday night. The Republican debate on FOX News was #1, Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family was #2, followed by Love & Hip-Hop on VH1. The show's Social Media Activity Score was 128,019. That is down 3% from last week. The RAW approval rating was 70%, up from 69% last week.

Glad to see the ratings have improved from the previous week, it was a good Smackdown so I agree.

Granted that the main attraction of this show would have been the Bryan / Big Show WHC match but it just goes to show that you can judge a shows ratings in the slightest because this show was essentially full of lowecard jobbers yet gets a decent rating.

[Crippler]

Wait a vanilla midget who is so boring and is just a glorified indy schmuck, is one of the reasons why the ratings were up. NO WAY.

Raw rating

- The January 16th episode of WWE's RAW Supershow scored a 3.0 cable rating with 4,279,000 viewers, up from last week. The first hour did a 3.0 rating while the second hour did a 3.03. The rating went up as hour two went on but viewership dropped by 62,000.

 

[The Cork]

Zack Ryder and Kane killing them ratings again.

 

[Deuce]

I don't get how it got a higher rating then last week, Ryder lost his United States title.... but Mick Foley did kick some ass
