Last night's Raw drew a 3.6 average, down from the 4.0 drawn last week during the same standard two-hour slot. (Last week's overall three-hour rating was 3.6 due to a low 2.8 first hour rating.)

The first hour drew a 3.25 and the second hour a 3.85, one of the bigger hour one to hour two jumps of the year. Overall viewership averaged 5 million.

The audience was just over two-thirds male with a median age of 33.

Last year, the March 12 edition of Raw drew a 4.1 and the March 19 edition drew a 3.7. Two years ago, the same two week stretch drew ratings of 4.1 and 4.3. You have to go back to 1998 to find a rating as low as this week's rating for the third week in March.

WK ANALYSIS: I think a little more of a bump coming out of last week's show, especially just two weeks out from WrestleMania, would have been expected under normal circumstances. However, last week's show was such a letdown - our PWTorch Poll indicated it was overwhelmingly considered a letdown - that it's not shock the rating this week was back to the usual solid numbers.
