This week's WWE RAW rating is in, and it's not good. The pre-taped show drew a 2.88 cable rating, with 4,015,000 viewers. RAW did not air live from the arena as it usually does, and one has to wonder how much of an impact the spoilers from the tapings hitting the web had on viewership.
RAW lost viewers as the show went on into the second hour, which is never a good sign. The first hour of the show pulled 4.17 million viewers, and the second hour dropped down to 3.86 million. This marks the 8th time in 11 weeks that RAW lost viewers in it's second hour, something which traditionally never happened prior to 2011.
WWE had stuff competition against Monday Night Football, which pulled a 12.32 rating.
