It&#8217;s the second-highest rating since Jan. 30, and the highest rating for a Raw not the day after a PPV since at least August of last year. I expect Smackdown to have a similar uptick with part two of the Smackdown Shake-up tonight.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3008239907\"><div id=\"pwtor-3656519523\"><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>Last night&#8217;s live episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Network, including live and same night DVR viewership, drew a 2.35 rating.
