In the 18-49 demo, it drew a 0.49, the same as last week. It was good enough to land them no. 1 overall on cable TV on Monday night, ahead of no. 2 ranked NHL playoffs that drew a 0.40 rating.<\/p>\n<p>The first hour drew 1.677 million viewers, the second hour drew 1.788 million, and the third hour drew 1.694 million. It was a rare occurrence of the third hour outdrawing the first hour, in this case by 17,000. That happened three weeks ago with a 50,000 increase. That has only happened those two times this year and only once last year.<\/p>\n<p>The third hour has drawn an average of 157,000 fewer viewers than the first hour this year, so the Hell in a Cell match with Bobby Lashley and Xavier Woods made a big difference. It shows that what you put on as the main event of a TV show can change the course retaining viewership, and it&#8217;s why persistently promoting a big match well throughout the three hours can cause more viewers to stay tuned who might otherwise stray to other programming.<\/p>\n<p>In the male 18-49 demographic, they drew 0.64, the same as last week. In the more narrow 18-34 male demo, they drew a 0.33 rating, down from last week&#8217;s 0.40.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-120601952\"><div id=\"pwtor-4125802798\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The June 21 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw drew a 1.24 rating, down from 1.29 last week and a notch below the rolling ten-week average headed into this week of 1.27.
