Raw Ratings Are Down With the Worst Week Since October

Football is still king. Last night’s episode of Monday Night Raw featured New Day wrestling two matches and clearing the way to become the longest reigning Tag Team Champions in WWE history. However, the fans didn’t seem very interested in watching as, according to Showbuzzdaily.com, the show’s ratings hit a seven week low with the worst numbers since October 31.

The show averaged 2.758 million viewers over three hours with a .92 rating in the 18-49 demographic. By comparison, the October 31 show did a .9 rating with an average of 2.6 million viewers. It should be noted that Monday Night Football absolutely slaughtered Monday Night Raw with an average of nearly 13 million viewers due to a huge game between the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens.

As bad as it sounds, a lot of it is due to football. There’s just no way around a big Monday Night Football game and it really doesn’t matter what WWE airs. It also isn’t a good sign for Sunday’s Roadblock: End of the Line pay per view as the last hour of the show’s ratings were the worst of the night. The main event story really isn’t connecting right now, but some of that could be attributed to airing New Day’s match earlier in the night, meaning people interested might have tuned out instead of sticking around for the announcement of the main event.
