WWE Raw on Monday, February 20 scored a 3.24 rating the night after the Elimination Chamber PPV, up from a weak 2.99 rating last week. It was nearly identical to a 3.25 rating two weeks ago on Feb. 6.
Raw averaged 4.63 million viewers, nearly identical to an average of 4.62 million viewers on Feb. 6 prior to last week's show dropping to a near-year low.
Raw averaged 4.66 million first hour viewers, then declined one percent to an average of 4.59 million second hour viewers. It re-started Raw's pattern of the second hour declining in viewership from the first hour.
-- On cable TV Monday night, Raw ranked #4 behind History Channel programming and was slightly behind the NCIS re-run that airs at 8:00 p.m. EST leading into Raw on Monday nights. Raw ranked #1 among males 18-34, males 12-34, and male teens, but #2 among males 18-49 behind "Pawn Stars" on History Channel.
Looking at the demographics, Raw was up compared to last week's disastrous show in every demo, but up slightly or down slightly compared to Raw two weeks ago.
-- Compared to the President's Day Raw one year, this year's show was down from a 3.83 overall rating (half of a ratings point) and down more than one million viewers (5.86 million viewers last year). That was the 2-21-11 reveal episode, though, when Undertaker and Triple H returned after weeks of hype.
Caldwell's Analysis: NCIS topping Raw's average should be an area of concern, and if the rating doesn't pop next week for The Rock's TV return, then there will be even more concern. This week's show performed okay following a PPV, but they need something to draw viewers back to the show leading into Mania. If Rock doesn't do the trick, there aren't too many tools left in the toolbox to utilize. | |
