The dropoff is most likely attributable to the competitiveness of the college football game as the main event was pretty strong featuring Balor Club vs. &#8220;Champions Club&#8221; (with an eye-roll from Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins).<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1145399502\"><div id=\"pwtor-1076435662\"><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 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw on USA Network drew a 1.92 rating among live and same-night-DVR viewership, down from last week&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s Day episode, which drew a 1.94.
