Bad Blood scored 140,000 viewers in the UK who watched when it was shown live on Sunday Night/ Monday Morning at 1am on Sky Sports 1. Comapred to Judgement Day the ratings are up as that PPV didn't make it into the top ten shows in the week it were on Sky Sports 1.
Bad Blood was 4th in the table only beaten by Live Boxing, Live Speedway and Live Rugby in the week it was shown live on Sky Sports 1.
Raw was on Sky Sports 3 the same week and scored a higher rating than Bad Blood it got 190,000 viewers.
These ratings do not include the repeat showings of Raw and Bad Blood. The Bad Blood repeat was shown in a prime time slot on Sky Sports and probably recieved more veiwers than the live showing - however we won't know that for fact until the next ratings are released.
