The April 15 edition of Monday Night RAW drew its lowest numbers of the calendar year, according to early numbers.

RAW averaged just over 4.1 million viewers over the course of the entire episode, which is a near-500,000 person drop from the post-WrestleMania 29 edition held on April 8. It is also the lowest RAW rating since March 18.

Perhaps most troubling for the company is that the third hour of RAW continues to draw as the lowest, bringing in just over four million viewers to see the payoff between John Cena and Ryback along with CM Punk’s speech to the WWE Universe. RAW is expected to remain three hours until at least through SummerSlam.
