WWE Television Ratings

[Troy]

The 6/10 edition of Smackdown did a 1.79 rating with 2,712,000 viewers.

Exact same rating as last week. Since Edge retired, Mysterio was drafted and Undertaker healed up again the rating has been down 0.2. They need to do something to get back this rating and get more RAW viewers tuning into Smackdown as well.

The 6/13 edition of Raw did a 3.1 rating with 4.5 million viewers. In its regular time slot, the show did a 3.3 rating with 4,832,000 viewers. The show did hours of 2.64, 3.19 and 3.33.

3.3 in the normal timeslot is an increase over last week but overall it is still a poor rating.

The 6/17 edition of Smackdown did a 1.73 rating with 2,705,000 viewers.

Slight drop in rating and viewership number. Something needs to change on Smackdown since they have lost more than 10% of their audience.

The 6/20 edition of Raw did a 3.1 rating with 4,750,000 viewers for the three hour edition of the show. In it's usual hour it did a 3.3 rating, with 5.5 million viewers. The show did hours 2.75, 3.25 and 3.26.

The 6/18 edition of AM Raw did a 0.72 rating with 839,000 viewers.

The exact same rating as last week.

Hopefully RAW Roulette can get a better rating. If they book things like Sin Cara vs. Evan Bourne in a ladder match then it should draw better.

The 6/24 edition of Smackdown did a 1.72 rating with 2,397,000 viewers.

Smackdown rating remains steady at 1.72. They need some new top faces to get the fans tuning in. Hopefully with MITB they can create some new stars on that brand.

The 7/1 edition of Smackdown did a 1.63 rating with 2,333,000 viewers. It was the start of a holiday weekend so I don't put much stock in this or last's night's Raw number as I expected both to be down.

When I first read the number I was shocked but then reading the explanation that explains it. Still that number is really bad.

 

[Troy]

The 7.18 MITB edition of Raw did a 3.2 rating, with 4.83 million viewers. The show did hours of 3.15 and 3.29. Obviously, WWE hoped for a higher number given the interest in the PPV. The rating was up from last week however.

Only a small increase from 2.9 to 3.2. I expected a lot more after MITB PPV. I am interested in seeing the rating for the final fifteen minutes when Vince started his speech and onwards. I would hope that more tune in next week to see what happens with the HHH storyline.

 

[Troy]

The 7/25 edition of Raw did 3.2 rating with 4,805,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.01 and 3.4.

Whilst the rating remained the same the positive news was that the rating grew as the show went on which is what you want. More fans should be tuning in to see the ending of the show and I am sure the over run with Punk did a great number.

The 7/22 edition of Smackdown did a 1.89 rating with 2,821,000 viewers.

Christian as champion and half a million more people watch the show. If the rating remains steady there surely it is telling WWE that fans want Christian and not Orton with the belt.

 

[Andrew]

Sheamus babyface turn and when he faces Christian = RATINGS. It's what a lot of people want actually.

Glad to see RAW is keeping it's steady rating there, the more CM Punk, the better the ratings.

It's funny what one superstar can do for a show.

 

[Troy]

Another face to cheer on Smackdown would help the ratings. Sheamus as a face feuding with Christian would be good.

RAW next week should see an increase in the ratings after the way RAW ended. Punk will be on the show next week so everyone will be tuning in to see what Punk does.

 

[Deezy]

Just proves what I've been saying forever. Christian is a draw.

 

[Troy]

Exactly this shows that people are interested in Christian as champion and people weren't happy with how it all went down last time and didn't watch. Hopefully the rating remains steady, or even better increases, next week to show Vince that Christian can make him money.

 

[Troy]

The 7/29 edition of Smackdown did a 2.02 rating with 2,825,000 viewers.

Second week with Christian as champion and the rating rises again and it gets over the big 2 number. HHH being on the show would have helped the ratings as well. The ratings are going in the right direction with Christian as champion.

 

[Troy]

The 8/5 edition of Smackdown did a 1.84 rating with 2,573,000 viewers.

Drop in the rating. Haven on SyFy dropped in the ratings as well. Hopefully it is back over 2 this week with HHH appearing on the show.

The 8/8 edition of Raw did a 3.1 rating with 4,542,000 viewers. The show did hours of 3.08 and 3.09.

Why are people not watching RAW? I don't get why ratings are still stagnant, it is better than the high 2's they were doing before but is taking a long time to grow. Would like to see what the over-run did with the contract signing.

 

[Troy]

The 8/15 edition of Raw did a 3.29 rating, with 5,055,000 viewers. Hour one of the show did 3.4 rating with 5,248,000 viewers while hour two did a 3.18 rating with 4,861,000.

Good bump for the rating but bad news that it decreased for the second hour. The problem was the Nash and Punk interviews were at the top of the first hour and they saved nothing to close the show like they normally do. Hopefully they can build on it next week when they reveal more of the story behind Nash and the secret text message sender.
