It&#8217;s going to take a very consistent, week-to-week, disciplined approach to build back to a 3.0 rating. It&#8217;s just not going to happen overnight after damage done from the previous four years of Three-Hour Raws.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3961318152\"><div id=\"pwtor-1717454238\"><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>By James Caldwell, PWTorch assistant editor The first Raw of a new era increased to the highest rating since last month&#8217;s post-PPV episode.
