According to ShowBuzz Daily, Raw averaged 1.593 million viewers, up about a percent from last week's 1.582 million.

-- In people 18-49, Raw fell to a 0.39 rating - a record low for the show to finish 7th on the cable charts, trailing only coverage related to the ball games mentioned above as well as SportsCenter. The football game drew 12.53 million and a 4.06 rating while the baseball game was at 3.54 million and a 0.79 rating.
