The rest of the show was kind of poor, and I guess it goes to prove bringing these guys back doesn't always help ratings.

I wanna see the ratings breakdown, Lesnar segments will shoot up. You'd think if he started the show, they'd stay tuned in right?

Anyone seen the quarters yet?

The 4/10 Super Smackdown Live special did just a 1.52 rating with 2,248,000 viewers. Both numbers are well below what the show usually does on a Friday.
Shit rating for a shit show. YES! YES! YES!

- As noted before, Monday's RAW Supershow from Washington, DC drew a 3.10 rating with 4.29 million viewers. RAW this week was third for the night on cable. This week's show was down 21% from the 5.46 million viewers of the week after WrestleMania in 2011. That says a lot because last year there was no big bombshell along the lines of Brock Lesnar's return.

In the segment breakdown, Santino Marella & Brodus Clay vs. Dolph Ziggler & Jack Swagger lost 99,000 viewers from the opener. A backstage segment with John Laurinaitis, The Miz and John Cena plus Santino looking for The Three Stooges and R-Truth vs. Cody Rhodes gained 255,000 viewers. Lord Tensai vs. Yoshi Tatsu lost 415,000 viewers.

The segment between CM Punk and Chris Jericho at 10pm gained 379,000 viewers for a 3.19 quarter rating. Punk vs. Mark Henry and the post-match angle with Chris Jericho giving a beer bath to Punk as well as the Alberto Del Rio vs. Zack Ryder lost 169,000 viewers. The segment with The Three Stooges lost 240,000 viewers and was the low point of the show at a 2.90 quarter rating.

The backstage interview with Brock Lesnar gained 423,000 viewers. The main event with John Cena vs. David Otunga and the Lesnar run-in gained 301,000 viewers. This is considered a weak overrun rating at a 3.42.

After reading WF for the ratings, I kinda agree with what someone put and that's the brawl and groin kick should probably have switched positions. Going off air with that brawl would have been far more epic and likely drew a bigger rating had they advertised some confrontation later in the show.

That live Smackdown rating is similar to the live Smackdown from a couple of months back so it isn't a complete disaster.

RAW rating is poor but WWE need to create more stars. They have some true top stars but beneath them there isn't much at all because WWE don't push them properly. Glad that the 3 Stooges segment got the worst rating, WWE should never have let them on the show.

Early 4/13 SD! Replay Rating
The 4/13 airing of WWE Smackdown, which was a replay of the live "Blast From The Past" special, drew 2.31 million viewers. This is actually a little higher than the live airing on 4/10, which drew 2.25 million viewers.

No rating yet.

That is impressive. It got more viewers this week for a replay than the live show got. Tuesday nights must not be a good night for wrestling in the US.

Final 4/16 WWE Raw Rating: Number Sees Slight Drop
This past Monday night's WWE Raw rating took in a 3.08 cable rating, which is down from the previous week's 3.1 cable rating.

This week's show averaged 4.4 million viewers however, which is up a bit from last week's draw of 4.3 millon viewers.

WM has passed... ratings are now going back to normal. Still good for a taped show that wasn't in the USA.

They did very well to keep the rating steady. Normally when it is a taped show the rating drops because people find out the results early and decide not to tune in.

Not the best rating but still it is around the mark. Smackdown could do well with a draft to freshen things up and to drop some of the dead weight off that show.
