WWE Raw Viewership Almost Sets a New All-Time Record Low


-- Last night's average Raw viewership just missed setting a new record, generating an average audience of 1.686 million, just barely beating out the May 4th edition, which essentially had the same viewership. This would be the third straight week of significant declines, but Raw did finish #4, #5 and #6 in the 18-49 demographic among shows on cable with an average rating of 0.49, a slight improvement from last week. In total viewership, Raw was 23rd on cable.

-- Hourly figures are below, clearly showing that the show opened up incredibly weak, very likely the lowest first hour on record with a climb in hour two before the usual drop in the third hour:

    * Hou 1 - 1.697 million
    * Hour 2 - 1.752 million
    * Hour 3 - 1.612 million
