WWE RAW AUDIENCE DROPS TO LOWEST OF 2013

By Mike Johnson on 2013-12-04 12:44:21

There's no good way to put this - The NFL wrecked Raw this week in the ratings. 

The New Orleans Saints facing off with the Seattle Seahawks dominated the Monday ratings, pulling in an audience of 15,500,000 viewers. 

In comparison, Raw drew an audience of 3,541,000 overall, down almost 500,000 from the previous week. This week's Raw audience was the lowest audience for WWE's flagship series since Christmas Eve 2012 and we'd have to go all the way back to October 1, 2012 to find a non-holiday edition of Raw that garnered such a small audience.

Needless to say, WWE isn't happy. Even worse, WWE lost the audience that did tune in over the course of the night, starting out with 3,616,000 viewers in hour one, falling to 3,560,000 in the 9 PM hour and then finally to 3,447,000 viewers in the final hour.
