Ziggler Drops NXT Rookie, Average 2010 WWE RAW Rating

- For the year of 2010, WWE's Monday Night RAW averaged a 3.28 cable rating. This is down 8% from 2009's average rating of 3.57. In comparison, 2008 had an average rating of 3.27, 2007 had an average rating of 3.61 and in 2006, RAW had an average rating of 3.9.

- Dolph Ziggler won a Pros Battle Royal on Tuesday night's WWE NXT which allowed him to switch out his Rookie. Ziggler dropped Jacob Novak, who was later eliminated, and picked up Byron Saxton as his Rookie. Masters, who had Saxton, was given Novak.

Those numbers are actually a little surprising. I expected a little more of a downtrend year to year from them as opposed to the rather up and down thing they've got going.
